Stephen Day is an American singer-songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee.[1] Day has been signed to Riser House Records, based in Nashville, since October 2024.[2]

Background

Stephen Day grew up in Buford, Georgia, a town northeast of Atlanta. He started playing guitar in middle school before joining a choir in high school, where he also started writing songs.[3] Day’s father was a pastor, and mom was a nurse practitioner. After finding his mom’s guitar in the closet, he taught himself to play through YouTube videos and a guitar teacher.[4]

Day was inspired by John Mayer’s debut album Room For Squares and listened to it every day in middle school. He also grew up listening to artists like Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra.[5] In 2014, Day moved to Nashville to pursue music while attending Belmont University.[6]

Career

His debut EP, Undergrad Romance and the Moses in Me, released in April 2016, steadily grew into a streaming success, helping build a catalog that has now surpassed 140 million plays.[7]

His debut full-length album, Guess I’m Grown Now, led by tracks like "Dancing in the Street" and "For Life," expanded his reach, accumulating over 24 million streams.[8]

On September 19th, 2025, Day released his 3rd album Gold Mine and followed it with a headlining tour.[9]

Day has been on three of his own headline tours and has opened for other artists such as Teddy Swims,[10] Ben Rector,[11] Stephen Sanchez,[12] KALEO,[13] Lawrence,[14] and Cory Wong.

Most recently, Day featured on the song "Home To Mother" by American singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez, from his second studio album, Love, Love, Love.
