With a vocal delivery that implies a frown, singer, songwriter, and producer Stephen Dawes went viral on social media with songs like "Losing You" and his spare and affectionate 2022 cover of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." Dawes went on to garner millions of streams with his own earnest, melodic pop songs, including his major-label debut, "It Could Be Me," before the end of the same year.
