This is Queens- bred D.STEPHENS who begins to work his way on raising the bar for others. Since the young age of 20, Madeline Algarin single-handedly raised D. Stephens. In order to detach from her stressful reality, Algarin found her personal escape from listening to music- such as Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston and Marvin Gaye. During these personal moments, D.STEPHENS discovered his love for music and was motivated to become a successful recording artist, vowing to provide for his mother. His newfound talent acted as a catalyst for his project, entitled “Glory Road Part 1.” His reasoning behind the title was it symbolized his personal journey from rags to riches, exposing it to the public. In February 2009, he released his first project with only 200 copies. Positive feedback led to his fan base growing, also receiving applause for his song making ability. As opposed to other artists who may have projects in the making, Stephens’ claim to game has just begun. He has already showcased his melodic choruses and incredible lyricism all over New York City, including the Times Square Art center, Bowery Poetry Club, the Pyramid Club and a number of lounges and clubs in the city. In addition, he has excelled and conquered contests such as “The Hot 16” at Nexus Lounge and the “Rock the Mic” at the Playa’s Club. Stephens was also chosen by Vibe Magazine to be one of the two finalists for the “Eminem No.1 Stan” contest where he was flown out to Detroit to open up for Eminem’s album release of “Relapse” at Sound Board, MotorCity Casino Hotel. Stephens since then has been interviewed by Angela Yee on shade 45 Radio. Looking to succeed even further, his goals for the near future include a state-to-state college tour for the release of his next project “Glory Road Pt. 2,” and also to solidify himself as one of the premier up and coming rappers in the country, his eyes are set on the cover of XXL magazine’s “2011 Freshman Class of The Year” cover.
