Who Is Stevieontay Burnz? The Artist, Entrepreneur & Story Behind the Music
If you’ve recently come across the name Stevieontay Burnz, you may have found the music, the cannabis industry, a live performance, an interview, or one of the many projects connected to The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary).
But Stevieontay Burnz is more than a recording artist.
Built from the DMV and now expanding his work throughout North Carolina and beyond, Stevieontay Burnz is an independent hip-hop artist, entrepreneur, content creator and founder of The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary). His career brings music, cannabis culture, business and personal storytelling together under one identity.
And in 2026, that story is entering its biggest chapter yet.
Who Is Stevieontay Burnz?
Stevieontay Burnz is an independent artist with roots in the DMV (DC, Maryland and Virginia) and a growing presence in North Carolina.
His music pulls directly from real experiences: relationships, ambition, mental pressure, success, failure, entrepreneurship and the constant process of trying to build something bigger.
Rather than separating his music from the rest of his life, Burnz has made those experiences part of the story.
That approach can be heard across releases including “Amsterdam Lights,” “Midnight on the Dash” and “Hard to Breathe,” while his next era is being built around his upcoming project, BURNZ AND BEYOND.
BURNZ AND BEYOND
The next major chapter for Stevieontay Burnz is BURNZ AND BEYOND, a project designed to show the different sides of Burnz as both an artist and a person.
The rollout begins with “Wax Wizardry” on September 30, 2026, followed by a series of weekly releases:
September 30 — Wax WizardryOctober 7 — Married to MaryOctober 14 — Terp TempleOctober 21 — The Experience
The project continues the direction established throughout 2026 while pushing deeper into the world surrounding Stevieontay Burnz.
From cannabis culture and entrepreneurship to relationships, pressure and personal growth, BURNZ AND BEYOND represents exactly what its title suggests: Burnz — and everything beyond the music.
From “Amsterdam Lights” to “Hard to Breathe”
One of the defining characteristics of Stevieontay Burnz's music is that the records are connected to actual moments in his life.
“Amsterdam Lights” was inspired by his experiences in Amsterdam, where Burnz also performed internationally.
Other records explore completely different sides of that story.
“Hard to Breathe” moves toward a more introspective sound, confronting pressure and the emotional weight that can come with trying to keep moving forward while balancing music, business and everyday life.
That contrast is important to the Stevieontay Burnz catalog.
There isn't just one version of Burnz.
Some records are energetic. Some are melodic. Some are cannabis-driven. Others are personal and reflective.
Together, they document different points in the same journey.
Building The Southern Maryland Experience
Music is only one part of the story.
Stevieontay Burnz is also the founder and CEO behind The Southern Maryland Experience (TSME), a company that has expanded from its Southern Maryland roots into North Carolina.
TSME operates within the legal cannabis and hemp industry while also connecting with entertainment, events, merchandise and music.
Instead of treating entrepreneurship and music as completely separate careers, Burnz has increasingly connected the two.
That crossover has created opportunities to work around artists, entrepreneurs and cannabis-industry figures while building an independent platform outside the traditional record-label system.
The result is an artist brand that exists beyond streaming platforms.
From the DMV to North Carolina — and Beyond
The DMV remains an important part of the Stevieontay Burnz story, but North Carolina has become another major part of the journey.
That expansion has helped Burnz connect with new audiences through business, music and live events.
His path has also taken him far outside either region.
Burnz has performed in Amsterdam, appeared at industry events and festivals, and continued expanding his presence through digital media, interviews, independent publications and entertainment platforms.
Those experiences have helped shape both the music and the larger Stevieontay Burnz brand.
An Independent Artist Building His Own Platform
The modern music industry doesn't require an artist's career to follow one path.
Stevieontay Burnz has embraced that.
Rather than waiting for someone else to create the platform, the goal has been to build one.
Music.
Business.
Cannabis culture.
Content.
Live events.
Community.
Each is another part of the same ecosystem.
The strategy isn't simply about releasing songs. It's about creating something capable of growing beyond any individual release.
