Stephan Folkes ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’ – out now!
Stephan Leroy Folkes Continues to defy expectations with the release of his latest single, It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars), a song that invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and reframe how they engage with themselves and the world around them.
Following the success of his debut track, Say It Like You Mean It, Folkes has made it clear that his artistry goes beyond entertainment. His focus lies in creating space for meaningful introspection, something he believes is often lacking in today’s commercial music landscape. Through this latest offering, he encourages listeners to revisit moments of hardship not as regrets, but as necessary steps in the journey of self-growth.
“The industry wants to tell you what to like, what to follow.“ Stephan notes, “Music should be a space for self-reflection, and that’s what I aim to create.”
Far from chasing trends, Stephan has committed to forging his own lane, one where vulnerability and imagination take center stage. Raised in Leytonstone, London, his personal story is one marked by challenges that became catalysts for transformation. These formative experiences, such as a serious childhood illness and a near-death incident, infuse his creative voice with clarity, conviction, and an unwavering sense of purpose.
Critics have taken note of Stephan’s originality, calling him a standout in an industry that often rewards imitation over innovation. Whether in interviews or on stage, he remains grounded in a philosophy of personal evolution, one that refuses to dilute authenticity in favour of mass appeal.
As he prepares to bring his music to live audiences across the UK, Stephan’s mission is clear: to connect through honesty, provoke thoughtful self-examination, and remind others that growth doesn’t come without discomfort. His voice isn’t just part of the conversation, It is helping to change the direction.
