Meet STACE.
STACE, A NEW YORK NATIVE, IS A MULTI-TALENTED ARTIST AND MUSICIAN. Bringing in the new decade with the same determination that has always kept him working and creating. Already verified and streaming on Spotify, his 2016 single "Feelings" has organically reached over 650K streams. With a growing following on Apple Music & TIDAL as well, his contribution to HappyTokes 2017’s single, “Friend Like You”, is steadily holding at the number 2 spot. Accompanied by actor/writer TK Kirkland (New Jersey Drive), STACE released his 4th studio album, “Trouble Season” (2017), is constantly touring, and launched his official fan club “The Station”.
Outdoing his 2015 & 2014 achievements, STACE appeared on the New Jersey TV show “Chattin’ with Mama Jones” (Love & Hip Hop) as well as performing at America’s Next Big Hit at HK Lounge in NYC. His first independent tour “The Talented Mr. Ridgeway Tour” took STACE to Denver, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Mexico, North Carolina, New York City opening for Atlantic Record’s artist Dyme-A-Duzin, and finishing up in Paris, France.
2013 brought features on HOT97 “Who’s Next?” (NYC) & twice in XXL: once as a feature in “The Break” & the other for “Banger of the Week” with his best-known single, ”It’s Getting Harder to Cheat”.

2012 was full of new singles, music videos & producing for others while co-hosting and performing for Macy’s “Find Your Magic” event with Toccara Jones from America’s Next Top Model. STACE entertained a diverse crowd of over 1500 people at Atlanta’s Peach Drop & he performed on 11 Alive News’ Metro Mix Soundcheck in Atlanta.
Hailing from Mount Vernon, New York (just outside of New York City), STACE is a musician who knows exactly what he wants. Not only does he sing, rap, play piano, guitar and drums, STACE is a businessman who watches the trends and reaches new heights in setting his own.” – Ru Johnson/Writer
For a new artist who is interested in cultivating a new following or building on the following already established, being in Denver on 4/20 weekend was like striking gold. Travelling from New York City to Denver, STACE is an MC who knows how to make an indelible mark on pretty much anything he touches. The Fly Company Music Group is his imprint and the creative outlet for releasing his mega progressive tunes.
As for the mural outside of Three Twenty Gallery – it depicts a crying woman drowning in a sea with text above in yellow that reads “Meanwhile in Las Animas”, the woman saying “What do you mean it’s JUST ART?” and a painted sidewalk incorporating a light pole that immerses the viewer into the mural itself. Some have criticized the work on social media already upset about the image of a drowning woman, but the work, entitled “Hopeful”, is supposed to represent the unbalance in many of our lives - almost feeling like life, itself, is challenging us to stay above water.
With melodramatic imagery inspired by the Pop Art era of the 60’s, the teary-eyed woman is symbolic of the Native Americans displaced throughout history from the Trail of Tears to the Santa Fe Trail. The 25 foot hand painted woman looks towards the eastern rising sun to symbolize hope, hence its title - something we could all be reminded of on a daily basis. Given the current state of our shared struggles with the year thus far, STACE’s latest work may be the introduction of something that many in our area may not have ever considered.

Curator of Vibes
"Style is linear, like time." STACE, referring to his sense of fashion, believes his transformation into his "now" started with what knowing what he doesn't know. Often times we try to predict the perfect moment by controlling the variables. I prefer to let the unknown act as my foundation for the things I know I don't know. This theory has proven successful for me. Allowing me to focus on the longevity of something rather than the look of it. How we feel often times changes. The landscapes I create, artistically, will find you at the perfect moment - when you least expect it.
"Predicting moods is as certain as guessing the weather. His style, is purely his - original. boastful. unapologetic." - Three Twenty Gallery
