Stephanie Owens is a country music artist based in Nashville, Tennessee. By Eleanor Klein.
How did you get into the music industry?
I grew up singing and performing as much as I possibly could. I moved to Nashville in 2013 right after I graduated from college to pursue a career as a country music artist. I released my debut project in 2018 and have been releasing music ever since.
Have you always wanted to be a singer?
Absolutely! I used to run around my house using a turkey baster as my microphone and would put couch cushions all over the floor to make my “stage’ haha. My parents both have music careers, so they have always been my biggest supporters and never made me feel like I needed a backup plan.
Tell us more about your latest single release.
I released “Work for Shoes” on June 26th and the music video on June 30th . It’s a celebratory anthem for shoe lovers everywhere! This is the most fun I’ve had with a song that I’ve released. Anyone who knows me well is very aware of my sassy side, so it was time to unleash spunky Stephanie haha.
Then I wanted to throw some humor into the mix with my music video. Growing up, I was very involved in musical theater, and I was always known for playing the spunky, eccentric roles. So, naturally, I fully embraced this ‘shoeaholic’ character. The video already has over 100,000 views on my YouTube channel, and CMT supported it on CMT.com as well!
What has been your greatest accomplishment in music to date?
After releasing my debut EP and music video, I was invited to perform and share my eating disorder recovery story on national television on the Huckabee Show. I have dreamed for years about making my tv debut, so that was such a surreal and awesome experience!
What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given?
Be yourself. While that may sound cliché, music and art is about expressing yourself in a unique way, and authenticity inspires and motivates people.
What advice would you give to someone looking to enter the music industry?
A career in the music industry takes a lot of hard work and thick skin, but, at the end of the day, it is about prioritizing relationships. It’s important to find your team, surround yourself with people who love and support you, and to build a true community of fans who relate to you and your music.
