Background

About Stephen B. Steward

Singer, songwriter, and producer Stephen B. Steward is an emerging worship artist whose contemporary worship styling has seen him as one of the genre’s new artists to watch. Bursting onto the scene with his triumphant debut single, “With My Whole Heart,” the high-spirited collaboration with GRAMMY® winner/gospel icon Andraé Crouch landed him a hit on the Billboard Top Gospel Singles Chart and three 2013 Prayze Factor People’s Choice awards. By profession, Steward is a Parole Agent for the State of California. Working on the dangerous streets of Los Angeles, he has witnessed what he calls "raw redemption, deliverance and healing" where gangsters fall on their knees and say lead me to Jesus, addicts of 30 years receive deliverance from heroin and rock cocaine and others are healed from sickness and disease. Such encounters along with tears and many prayers created fertile ground within his heart for God to birth more songs through him, now well over 200 songs to his credit. Steward released his first album, ENTER YOUR GATES, May 20, 2014, debuting in the top 10 of the gospel billboards best-selling albums. ENTER YOUR GATES plays host to a collection of praise and worship songs composed much like “With My Whole Heart,” co-written by gospel legend Andraé Crouch. Stephen has shared the stage in concert with his mentor Andrae Crouch, Jonathan Butler, Vickie Winans, Isaac Carree and has appeared on TBN Praise The Lord, The Word Network, and the Bobby Jones Gospel Hour. In addition to being a Psalmist, songwriter, and producer, Stephen, is the co-founder of the LOV Olive Branches CDC Youth Music Program, a nonprofit organization, where annual scholarships are awarded to youth for their achievements in music and Arts.
