Ever wonder what it takes to be a lifelong musician with a talent that spans genres and generations? Meet Curtis Stephan, a lifelong musician whose journey started in the church.
Curtis’s musical odyssey began as a child, learning the ropes from his church organist. By the time he hit high school, he was already mastering the guitar, piano, and trumpet. He took his passion to the University of North Texas, where he majored in trumpet and earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s in jazz studies. While at UNT, Curtis was not just hitting the books—he was also hitting the road with the Grammy-nominated One O’Clock Lab Band. And let’s not forget the Sammy Nestico Award for Big Band Jazz composition he was awarded along the way.
Curtis’s talents aren’t just about impressive awards and accolades. His compositions have even made it to Mass with the Pope, where they’ve been performed at international youth gatherings with millions in attendance.
Despite all his musical successes, Curtis is most proud of his role at St. Ann Catholic Parish in Coppell, TX. Leading his parish community in worship on Sunday mornings is where his heart truly sings. When he’s not creating beautiful music or leading worship, Curtis is at home in Frisco, TX, with his amazing wife Lindsay and their four kids. Together, they’re a musical family filled with love and harmony.
