Finding Your Voice (with Stefan Mahendra)

In this episode of Black & A Half, Silas sits down with musician and singer Stefan Mahendra, who recently opened for Joss Stone and is releasing new music.

They talk about the long journey from self-doubt to confidence, what it’s like to perform stripped down versus with a full band, and why many artists today are choosing to release EPs instead of full albums.

Stefan shares how he discovered soul music, how long it took to feel comfortable hearing his own voice, and what it really takes to grow as an artist.

It’s a thoughtful, funny, and honest conversation about creativity, vulnerability, and the process of getting better at something that matters to you.
