Stephen Wilson Jr. was a scientist working for Mars, Inc. (Yeah, the Candy company). One day, his boss pulled him into an office and said something that changed his life:“Stephen, you’re about to get promoted.”Normally a cause for celebration, this was instead meant as a warning by his boss. In a past life, Stephen had been a guitarist in a small indie rock band. He also spent his evenings writing songs. His boss knew Stephen was a damn good songwriter, and where he really belonged.
