After going viral on TikTok, Stephen Sanchez is making sure everybody knows he is an artist that is here to stay.
Sanchez’s phenomenal track ‘Until I Found You’ was originally released in September last year and, thanks to the virality of TikTok, is reaching new peaks every day. The track is currently #49 on the global Spotify Charts and today reached a new peak of #98 in Australia.
The track blends blissful doo wop melodies with breezy guitar and delicate tambourine. With enough sweet summer soul to make Roy Orbison smile, the momentum builds towards a swooning refrain as he admits, “I used to say I would never fall in love until I found her.”
