Chandler Stephens release “Sunshine State” to all streaming platforms today, June 4. This infectious, upbeat track gives listeners the carefree, top-down cruising on the perfect day feelings. Co-written with Eric Dodd and Moriah Domby, Chandler had two loves in mind in the writing room that day. “I always wanted to write a song about the love I have for my home state of Florida, but I also wanted it to be a love song to my husband letting him know how much he means to me, and no matter what life throws at us, as long as we have each other, it’s going to be okay.”

Coming from a large family of 16 that included 14 siblings from a variety of ethnicities gave singer- songwriter Chandler Stephens a unique perspective on life and instilled in her the importance of love, family, and unity. “I grew up understanding and knowing we are all human beings deserving of love, kindness, and equality. It is definitely something I draw from for my songwriting and a firm platform for my life.” Since moving from Florida to Nashville to pursue her dream, Chandler has achieved over 6 million streams collectively. She first gained success a few years ago with “Can’t Stop Love,” a duet she co-wrote and performed with Kane Brown and is currently releasing songs from her upcoming six song EP. Her distinctively soothing yet poignantly powerful vocals and her real life truthful and vulnerable lyrics shine on such tracks as “Bet on You” and “Would’ve Gone Home.”
“I want to create music that people can relate to. I want to share my life experience through my music. Music helped me through some tough times and it made the good times even better. I want my music to be able to have that type of impact on others.”
