Ministre du Gospel, compositeur et enseignant, Stanley décide, en février 2011, de se lancer dans une carrière solo. Son premier album "One More Chance", parait cette année là. Le disque, qui se partage entre influences européennes et africaines, est un témoignage de sa quète d'intimité avec Dieu, avec des morceaux composés au cours de ses divers voyages.
De ses expériences, Stanley a rapporté un style original. Sa voix, naturelle et vibrante, et ses mots nous invitent à nous redécouvrir nous-même, à l'écoute de ses ballades rafraichissantes et méditatives. Un délice pour les oreilles qui vous accompagne sur le chemin de Dieu.
Coach dans de nombreux meetings musicaux, à Lille ou à Paris, Stanley est aussi un visionnaire qui sait reconnaître le potentiel des jeunes personnes qui souhaitent s'engager sur la route du prêche et de la dévotion. C'est dans cette optique qu'il lance, en 2010, la première édition des "Praise Awards", une cérémonie visant à souligner l'importance de la dévotion et de la musique dans l'église. L'événement est rendu possible par la collaboration de pasteurs gospel locaux et internationaux. C'est à cette occasion qu'il rencontre le Pasteur Marcel Boungou (Palata Singers) qui l'encourage dans son ministère. Aussi grâce a sa collaboration avec Patricia Laine et l''association les semailles.
Stanley vit et travaille aujourd'hui en France en tant que ministre de louange et d'adoration.

Influenced by his travels, Stanley requires a more original style, a naturally warm and vibrant voice with words we know where to find ourselves.

This is an event that brought together both local and international gospel ministers. It was during this time and his collaboration with the Ble ministry that he met with the Pastor Marcel Boungou (Palata Singers) who encouraged him.
Today, Stanley lives and works in France as a Praise and worship teacher in many churches.
