That was my reality once. I lost a powerful song that resonated deeply with my soul, and no amount of wishing could bring it back. That moment sparked a fire within me – a desire to ensure no aspiring musician has to experience that heartbreak again.

I'm Stephen, and my journey in music has been a blend of passion and purpose. I have a double degree in music, an MBA, and a state certified teaching credential in Audio Technology, earned through my degree plus over 1,000 hours of hands on production experience. I've spent years honing my craft and understanding the business side of the music industry, and figuring out how to actually teach what I know.

I was honored to be part of my university's freshman album, and I've released my own music independently, proving you can create and share your art without relying on traditional routes. I've had the privilege to perform with artists like Andrea Bocelli, and earned recognition with an award for Best Music at a film festival. But what drives me most is the belief that every artist should have the tools to express themselves creatively without barriers.

Core Values:
At Perry Music Enterprises, we stand for:

• Creative Independence: Unlock the artist within you without relying on outside help.

• Empowerment: Take control of your musical journey and embrace your unique sound.

• Progress Over Perfection: Your signature sound is waiting for you in song 30 – don’t get stuck editing song 1.

"Own Your Sound" isn’t just another how-to book; it’s a mindset shift. It’s about realizing that you already have what it takes to create music that matters to you. Through personal stories, actionable steps, and empowering frameworks, I guide you to prioritize your creativity over perfection.

What Readers Are Saying:

• Rick M: "Stephen's book reminded me of how it was more than 40 years ago when I began creating music. Every lesson Stephen writes is a motivational pathway in discovering your own purpose and sound. This book doesn’t just teach - it inspires you to get started and try something new in your studio."

• Robert B: "I think it's really good. It's definitely something I would give someone who is just being lazy like nah man, take this, read it and apply it – there's no excuse to create and own it."

Join me on this journey – let’s reclaim your creativity and get your music heard. Together, we can ensure that your songs are never lost and that your voice is truly yours to own.
