Stan Stewart is a preacher’s kid who ended up being a church musician. Creating music for worship has been an anchor in his life. “I have witnessed the potential of music in congregations all over the world. I want the music we make to help us open a window to heaven on earth.” 

While studying at Brite Divinity School (Fort Worth, Texas), Stan learned the pipe organ from Emmet Smith. His primary piano instructor in his adult years has been Jim Ridl. Though his singing and vocal ensemble work has many influences, he has been deeply influenced by the work of Bobby McFerrin and Rhiannon.
