Stephen Asher Givens

If an audience came to see me, what would they see?
They’d experience a relaxed, acoustic vibe that immediately helps everyone feel at ease and comfortable. My performances blend warmth, authenticity, and connection—inviting listeners to unwind and enjoy the moment. Using my loop machine, I layer rhythm, melody, and harmony live to create a full, dynamic sound that keeps the music fresh and engaging. It’s a one-of-a-kind approach that sets the tone for everything from laid-back evenings to high-energy sets.

If a client hired me, what would they get?
They’d get a versatile performer who can adapt to any setting—whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, private party, festival, or restaurant night. My song list spans a wide variety of genres including country, pop, rock, Christian, oldies, and my own original music. I take pride in reading the room and shaping each performance to fit the atmosphere perfectly. With a professional approach, reliable setup, and genuine love for entertaining, I aim to create an experience that feels effortless yet memorable for everyone involved.

Hey! My name is Stephen Givens, and I am so glad you stopped by to check out my website!

So a little bit about me. . . . let’s start with some personal stuff. I grew up in a small town (or village) called Little Hocking, Ohio. I lived on 300 acres of land running around, exploring the woods, and getting into any activity I could.

I am a Christian and grew up in church and thank God for any opportunities He has given me. I am happily married to my beautiful wife and have two awesome kids that keep me on my toes and teach me the importance of life.

Looking at my education and professional background, I am a mental health doctor who specializes in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I own some outpatient mental health clinics.

So if you think about it, by day I’m a mental health therapist and by night I’m . . . . Batman. . . ok, maybe not Batman but I can dream can’t I?

Stephen. . . . what about the music! OKAY Okay . . . If you insist 😀

I have been a performer for over 20 years and have traveled all over the United States (mostly East Side). My performing back is primarily in a Christian A Cappella. In college, I was a part of a singing group called Express that traveled to various Christian camps, youth rallies, and even got to sing the national anthem at the Cubs versus Cardinals game!

I am currently a part of a professional singing group called Lost N Found (A Cappela Christian Group) who has performed in similar circles. In these groups, I performed different parts including Bass, Baritone, some Tenor and Vocal Percussion.

Music has been an important part of my life. It has been a great way to express myself and the world around me.

On my instrumental history side, I started playing guitar in junior learning to play Sweet Home Alabama (probably one of everyone’s first songs to learn) and picking at learning some main chords like C, G, and D (which is probably all you need to know for any country song).

In college is where I started to really dive in song writing and finding my musical way. I was found by a talent scout (for music and acting) and had the opportunity to go to Chicago to perform. I was called back for both!!! To my surprise, I found out the man who called me back for my music was the man who recorded Stevie Wonder! He told me he liked my music and encouraged me to take the next step to move to a big city like L.A. or New York.

Although I had some stars in my eyes at the time, life had some other plans of pursuits. I carried on over the years with my professional singing but continuing to develop with my guitar and songwriting.

In 2024, I decided to launch my first album. The name of my album is called “Life Lessons” as it seemed to be a good collection of things I have learned from my years so far on this earth.

So to recap, I am a seasoned acoustic performer with over 20 years in the music industry, delivering soulful guitar work, heartfelt vocals, and the unique art of vocal percussion. My versatile setlist covers Country, Oldies, Pop hits, and his own original songs from Life Lessons (streaming on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, and more).

Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, private party, festival, or restaurant night, I adapts my show to fit your crowd — blending polished musicianship with engaging stage presence. Clients praise him for his professionalism, crowd interaction, and ability to keep guests entertained from the first note to the last.
