Tony Stevens is a Canadian country music singer and songwriter from Surrey, British Columbia. He is currently signed to Willing Entertainment. He has charted with the singles "Tomorrow Today", "Whiskey in Colorado", and "When I Hear That Song".
Early life
Stevens was raised in Coquitlam, British Columbia, but moved to Surrey when he was thirteen years old. In his twenties, he elected not to pursue a full-time music career as he was working a career in construction, got married, and was starting a family. In 2013, Stevens suffered a serious brain injury in a wakeboarding accident in Tulameen. After recovering, he began thinking once again about pursuing a career as a musician, and eventually began the process of doing so.
Career
In 2022, Stevens released the song "Cochrane Avenue". The next year, he released "Tomorrow Today", his first single to Canadian country radio. The song would later reach the top 50 on the Billboard Canada Country chart. In 2024, he was a semi-finalist in the SiriusXM Top of the Country competition. Stevens also released the single "Whiskey in Colorado" in January 2024. The song went on to reach the number eight on the Canada Country chart, while Stevens and his co-writers received a nomination for Songwriter(s) of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Country Music Awards for writing it.
