Until You Awake: A Hybrid Memoir-Autobiography

Until You Awake is Stafon Von Camron's unflinching hybrid memoir-autobiography-a testament to the power of truth, transformation, and the search for one's own voice. Raised in a small Oklahoma town on big dreams and fiercer questions, Stafon learned early that life's sweetest harmonies are born from its sharpest dissonances.

In these pages, you'll walk beside him through the shadows of a rough childhood: moments of joy and pain woven together by family bonds and fractured by betrayal. You'll see the world through the eyes of a boy who glimpsed wonder in ghostly lights at age four, then faced the cruel reality of sexual abuse-experiences that threatened to silence him before he could even speak. Yet, through every trial, Stafon discovered a single guiding force: the music inside him.

As adolescence gave way to adulthood, he wrestled with love and loss, faith and doubt. He learned to trust his instincts even when the world questioned his direction-whether preaching from a wooden pew, scribbling songs on napkins in dive-bar dressing rooms, or watching his "blue magic" experiments blossom into recordings that resonated beyond Oklahoma's fields. Each setback became a lesson learned the hard way; each melody, a confession set to melody.

Until You Awake is more than a memoir-it's an act of courage. Stafon speaks his truth out loud, refusing to shrink from the uncomfortable or deny the wounds that shaped him. With raw honesty and lyrical prose, he invites readers to join him on the long road to self-discovery-to witness how a small-town kid found his voice, lost it, and reclaimed it in song. And through every candid confession, he reminds us that waking up to our own stories is the first step toward the life we were always meant to live.
