Stephan Folkes Shines on Reflective New Single ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’
Stephan Folkes returns with a transcendent new release, ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’, and it’s clear the London-based artist is charting his own course through the cosmos of contemporary music. Following the critical success of his debut single ‘Say It Like You Mean It’, Stephan’s latest offering is a richly layered, genre-defying meditation on time, adversity, and personal growth.
A self-described “Visionist” and “King of Fantasy,” Folkes approaches music with a rare kind of fearlessness. His newest single doesn’t chase trends—it questions them. From the very first note, Stephan draws listeners into a reflective space, encouraging them to consider the lessons learned from life’s most difficult moments.
“Music should be a space for self-reflection,” Stephan says, and ‘It’s All Within Time’ lives up to that mission. Carried by his velvety vocals—reminiscent of George Michael at his most heartfelt—Stephan weaves a soundscape that blends soft rock, R&B, jazz, funk, and ambient pop with effortless finesse. The result is a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking, dreamy yet grounded.
Lyrically, the track urges listeners to embrace their journey in its entirety. It’s not just about where you’re going—it’s about how you’ve grown through the fire. There’s something deeply empowering in that message, and Stephan delivers it with authenticity and grace.
Born and raised in Leytonstone, East London, Stephan’s music is deeply rooted in personal experience. Surviving a life-threatening hospitalization at five and a near-drowning in his youth, he emerged with a profound sense of purpose—one that pulses through every word and every chord. Since beginning his journey in music at just 11, he’s grown into a full-fledged artist, working alongside industry talents like Nick Michaels (Bethnal) and producer Phil Curran.
With a strong presence online and plans to bring his message to the stage across the UK, ‘It’s All Within Time (Travelling Through the Stars)’ marks a powerful new chapter for Stephan Folkes. It’s not just a song—it’s a reminder to honour your past, trust the timing of your life, and never be afraid to walk your own path.

International Songwriter Mickey Wynne Releases New Book The 14-Day Songwriter on May 30, 2025
A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing, Recording, and Marketing Your Own Song in Just Two Weeks
Acclaimed international songwriter Mickey Wynne announces the release of his new book, The 14-Day Songwriter, a practical and inspiring guide designed to help aspiring and experienced musicians craft a complete song—from concept to recording and marketing—in as little as 14 days.
Based on Wynne’s extensive global career as a performer, composer, and producer, The 14-Day Songwriter breaks down the creative process into 14 clear and manageable steps, walking readers through every phase of songwriting—from choosing a theme, to writing lyrics and melody, to demo production, and final recording.
While structured over a 14-day period, Wynne emphasizes the method is flexible, adaptable to any schedule or working style. “Some readers may work through it in two weeks, others in a month, or even a weekend if they’re booking a studio session,” says Wynne. “It’s not about speed—it’s about clarity and creative momentum.”
This book is for:
Beginners who have never written a song but have always dreamed of doing so
Experienced songwriters seeking a fresh approach to jumpstart creativity
Music industry professionals—from managers to record executives—interested in better understanding the songwriter’s process
Mickey Wynne’s musical roots run deep. Taught guitar by his father at age six, he began writing music by nine and formed his first band while still at school—famously teaching Julian Lennon to play guitar. Since then, his career has taken him around the world, working in:
London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with the Wiseguys
Karachi, Pakistan, where he co-created the televised play Ad Man’s Dream
New York City, serving as house writer for MCA/Uni Records
Nashville, collaborating with The Pioneers, a project with The Who’s John Entwistle
And creative hubs across Mexico, Hamburg, Sydney, and Singapore
With decades of firsthand experience and a rare international perspective, Wynne has distilled the essential tools and techniques of songwriting into a method that is engaging, insightful, and empowering.
The 14-Day Songwriter will be available starting May 30, 2025 online via Amazon
