Support STNLY's Grammy-Winning Music Journey

Hi, I'm STNLY. (Pronounced Stanley). I am a Grammy award winning musician from Atlanta, GA now living in Nashville, TN. You would think that having a Grammy might mean I'm set, but unfortunately in 2025 it does not. Labels have stopped investing in true artists, artist development, or taking risks. They only sign by reacting to vitality on TikTok. The music industry has never had less integrity, which makes it extremely hard to penetrate the noise as an organic artist who is committed to making real, authentic music that makes you feel something, because it takes money.

I have been passed on by a lot of labels over the years, and I have tried so hard to get executives to believe in the gift and the vision that I have. For them it always comes down to numbers and social media metrics.

Well, I have finally stopped waiting for some lame guy in a suit to give me an opportunity to be the best musician I can be. I have stopped waiting for an advance from a label deal to go and be the artist I know I am. I am choosing to make this music now. It's classic, timeless, soulful, and most importantly live music.

I am currently on my journey to producing my first live album and I believe it will be the greatest album I have ever made and I believe you will feel similar regarding any albums that you have heard.

But it takes money to do this. And my grammy nor my teaching job creates enough income to pull this off. Truth is I am just getting by covering my needs as a person. Anything left over I always invest into my craft, but this is going to take more than that. To pay for both the studio and rehearsal space, the rehearsal time, the musicians time, the engineer, the mixing, mastering, the videographers, dancers, and background vocalist.

What we are making here is ART. So I am asking that you might consider investing and becoming a part of "GOLDEN", my third project and first live album - to be released in parallel with my golden birthday later this year. This is going to be a beautiful creation.
