Stephen Shepherd began his career on the other side of the desk. As a member of the marketing department at one of the most successful record labels in the business, Stephen started creating moving pictures from the inside. Functioning as both in-house director and video commissioner, Stephen was called upon to do most of the writing, shooting and creating the label's own advertising and industrial, trade related pieces as well as working with outside production companies and directors on music videos. Parlaying this new experience he then went on to become a fulltime music video director, all the while also shooting and editing multimedia content. He went on to perform the same function at the MCA sister label, Decca Records, and later Virgin Records Nashville and Universal South Records. His work with these record labels eventually led to producing and directing music videos for many country artists.
