About
Life’s A Bish Records is the independent label founded by legendary singer-songwriter Stephen Bishop during the pandemic, born from a desire to create a better path for the next generation of artists. With a career that’s spanned five decades, Stephen has released albums on nearly every major label in the industry. But after pouring six figures of his own money into his final album, THIMK, and turning down offers from major labels that demanded control of his masters, he decided it was time to rewrite the rules.
​
Life’s A Bish Records is about ownership, integrity, and artistic freedom. The label’s name is a nod to Stephen’s longtime nickname “Bish” and reflects both his sense of humor and his passion for discovering new talent. Now, with nothing left to prove and everything to give, Stephen is using his experience and resources to support emerging artists on their own terms—empowering them to keep what they create and stay true to their vision.
This isn’t just a record label—it’s a legacy.
Stephen Bishop is preparing to release his 20th and final album, THIMK. After a six-year hiatus, Stephen returned to the studio one last time to create a project that marks the culmination of his remarkable musical journey. THIMK is a heartfelt thank-you to his fans and a lifetime of stories in one album.
​
The album features a blend of brand-new songs written in recent years, alongside long-held gems from Stephen’s songbooks that, until now, had never been recorded. To make the project even more memorable, Stephen is joined by a lineup of incredible friends and legendary special guests. Together, they’ve crafted a collection of music that promises to resonate with listeners for years to come.
​
THIMK is tentatively set for release in Summer 2025 and will be available on all streaming platforms, as well as on CD and vinyl. An official release date will be announced soon.
