The latest episode of TikTok In The Mix premieres LIVE on @TikTok tomorrow night, March 11th, at 6PM PT, in partnership with T-Mobile, and features Stephen Sanchez (2.4m followers), whose distinctive retro sound has attracted a huge audience of loyal fans around the world.

Hosted by Jack Coyne of Trackstar, the series invites artists to sit down for open conversations about their creative journeys, their lives beyond the spotlight, and the TikTok moments that have helped soundtrack their rise. Expect thoughtful insights, honest reflections, and the kind of behind-the-scenes access that makes TikTok the home of music discovery and culture.

In episode three of TikTok In The Mix, Stephen Sanchez joins Jack Coyne to discuss the release of his new album 'Love, Love, Love', which is released on May 8th, and reflects on the personal influences that shaped both the record and his musical identity. Sanchez opens up about his background, including how his grandparents inspired his vintage sound and his outlook on love, sharing that the album explores many forms of love, not just romance. He chats candidly about the music that shaped him, reflects on performing with longtime heroes including Mumford & Sons, Lana Del Rey and Elton John, and breaks down the meaning behind some of his lyrics.

Singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez has quickly emerged as one of the most distinctive new voices in modern pop, blending vintage rock-and-roll influences with heartfelt storytelling and a cinematic sense of romance. First capturing global attention when his breakout hit 'Until I Found You' took off on TikTok, Sanchez has built a devoted fanbase drawn to his timeless sound, soaring vocals and nostalgic aesthetic. His music often channels the spirit of classic crooners and early rock icons while resonating with a new generation of fans discovering and sharing his songs across TikTok.

Stephen Sanchez has materialized at the forefront of popular culture with a sound that's as timeless as it is necessary for the times. Barely in his twenties, the singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer has already enchanted audiences everywhere. In September 2023, Stephen released his highly-anticipated debut album, Angel Face, via Mercury/Republic Records, which was certified gold. His breakout single "Until I Found You" - which first took off on TikTok - went multi-platinum, vaulted into the Top 25 of the Billboard Hot 100, and generated over 2 billion streams powered by the original, piano version, and duet with gold-certified pop singer and songwriter Em Beihold. He was even invited to perform "Until I Found You" at Sir Elton John's last show ever headlining Glastonbury '23 and at Lana Del Rey's sold out Fenway Park show. Until I Found You' has now been used to soundtrack over 35m videos on TikTok, going on to generate almost 3 billion streams on Spotify, where Sanchez has over 18m monthly listeners.

He delivered much talked-about performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and his performance of the track was also nominated for PUSH Performance of the Year at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Stephen has sold out successive headline tours and earned acclaim from Billboard, NPR, Consequence, and more.

On May 8, Stephen will release his sophomore album, Love, Love, Love, a record that sheds the character artifice and swoony, reverbed 50s/60s grooves of his debut record in lieu of bold, technicolor pop songs that still carry the lineage of his classic roots while stepping confidently into a vivid, modern new era. The first single off the new record, "SWEET LOVE," marked the biggest streaming debut of Stephen's career and quickly climbed into the millions following its January release.

Season one of TikTok In The Mix is co-produced and sponsored by T-Mobile, bringing the series to audiences wherever they are through four 30-minute episodes streamed LIVE on TikTok (@TikTok), connecting artists and fans in real time.

Fans can Pre-Save 'Love, Love, Love' in advance of its release on May 8th HERE.
