Dirk Von Stein is a Des Moines based singer-songwriter whose music weaves together soulful storytelling, redemptive themes, and a rich blend of genres including Christian Worship,  Country, Americana, Classic Rock, ’70s Folk, and Blues. Influenced by artists such as Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, Zach Williams, and Brandon Lake, Dirk brings a heartfelt authenticity to every performance—sharing both his musical gifts and his powerful testimony of faith.

​

Dirk’s love for music began at the age of five, learning piano and percussion, later evolving into drums and guitar. After years of performing in local bands and making a name for himself in the Des Moines blues scene, he found success onstage but was quietly battling addiction. At 25, his journey was derailed by alcohol, leading to a decade away from music.

​

In 2014, after finding freedom in sobriety, Dirk encountered healing and restoration through Jesus Christ. His return to music began in the church—leading youth worship and playing lead guitar during Sunday services. This experience reawakened a deep calling to not only play music, but to use it as a vessel for God’s grace and truth.

​

During the 2020 lockdown, Dirk recommitted to his calling, stepping out in faith as a solo artist. His 2023 debut EP, Rise In Me, chronicles life in recovery and the redemptive work of Christ. His 2024 follow-up album, Angel Road, continues this journey, blending spiritual reflection with gritty honesty and hope-filled anthems.

​

Dirk is more committed than ever to using his gifts to serve the Kingdom—offering music that speaks to the broken, the searching, and the redeemed. Through testimony, worship, and song, he invites audiences to experience the transforming love of Jesus Christ.
