Savannah Stevens – Artist

About Savannah

Who am I? What a question, does anyone really know? Are we defined by where we are from? I was born in a little town called Northport, Alabama, but shortly thereafter moved to Kennesaw, Georgia. I have lived there my whole life. Or maybe we are defined by where we went to school? I attended a private Christian school for most of my life and then transferred to public high school when I was a sophomore. Maybe it’s what we do while in our juvenile years.

I have grown up playing sports. Everything from softball, basketball, and golf to gymnastics and summer swim team. I performed in my school plays and musicals and have always spent a lot of time with my friends and family, just like any other teenage girl. My parents have always told me I can be anything I want to be if I just put my mind to it and give it my all. I am not so different from the girl right next to me…

I learned at a very young age that I have dyslexia. At first, I thought this was terrible. I would ask my mom, why does it have to be so hard? My mom told me, “God gives us all blessings and faults, it is up to you to decide which this is. You can let it crush you, or you can find a way to use it as fuel to push harder.” I knew at a young age that I wanted to do something great with my life, but what does that really mean. I love to sing and model. I love being in front of a crowd. I get more nervous singing for my mom than for a crowd of over 10,000 people. I feel at home on the stage and so that is what I am fighting to do.

There’s a quote by Erica Cook that I’ve often read since being diagnosed with Dyslexia. It says, “I do not suffer from dyslexia, I live with it. I suffer from the ignorance of people who think they know what I can and cannot do.” I chose to use it as fuel. My mind may work differently than the next person but look out world…here I come! One day you will see me on the runway in Paris and New York, or maybe on the big stage singing my heart out!!!

So, for now, who am I? Well, I think all these things define me. My favorite restaurant is Taco Casa in Alabama and I love the Crimson Tide! Roll Tide Roll! I have a very strong relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I have learned to love and accept people from all walks of life! I have friendships that will last a lifetime! I am an athlete and an artist! I am a writer and a singer! I love being in front of the camera! I am a pageant girl! I am a queen! I love all types of music (but especially jazz and rock and roll)! I love volunteering and helping others! I am a Star Wars geek! I am dyslexic! I am a fighter! I don’t know where my journey is leading me, but I am so excited jump all in!

Thank you to all the people who have helped me get this far and to all the people that will help me in my future. Thank you to those who will help me learn who I am, who will help me be the best me I can be, who will lift me up! I can’t wait to meet you and I can’t wait to build an amazing future! I am Savannah Jo Stevens!

I’ve been singing since I was 9 years old. When I was young, music to me wasn’t that big of a deal, so I quit. I tried so many other things, but always seemed to be pulled right back. When I made the decision to go professional, I knew it was where God was calling me to be. Now I don’t know where I would be without it. Music is a way for me to escape all of my problems and celebrate when things are going my way. It has helped me through so many difficult phases in my life. When I am making music I feel like I am not alone. To me music is like breathing, and it is a talent that not many people really know about. I am so excited to share my music with the world. God has blessed me and I am super excited to show the world the amazing gift He has given me. I pray I can use it in a way to bring glory to our Father. Thank you guys for all the love and support through this journey! Enjoy!!!
