Biography
Stumpf was born and raised in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.[5] He listened to country music in his dad's garage as a kid, and taught himself to play the guitar when he was in middle school.[5] While in high school, Stumpf took vocal and singing lessons, performed at high school assemblies and events, and led his church's worship team.[5] Stumpf considered Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to be vocal inspirations to him while learning how to sing.[5] He worked as a farmer for a year in Smeaton, Saskatchewan, and then lived two years in Saskatoon while attempting to kickstart his music career, before moving back to Prince Albert.[6] In 2022, Stumpf co-founded the annual Sunset Country Music Festival in MacDowall, Saskatchewan to raise funds for charity.[7]
In 2023, Stumpf released his first track "Drink Me a Lullaby".[8] In 2024, he released "That Song in This Truck" and won the "Emerging Artist Award" at the 2024 Saskatchewan Country Music Awards.[7][9] That same year, Stumpf signed a record deal with MDM Recordings.[10] In April 2025, Stumpf released "Highway Money", his debut radio single and first release with MDM.[11][1][12]
