Stockton Helbing is one of the most diverse drummers in the world. He is not only a drummer, but a composer, arranger, producer, band leader, educator, music director, author, and entrepreneur. All at the age of 31!

Stockton leads his own band, the Stockton Helbing Quintet , with whom he tours and performs regularly. In September of 2011, Stockton released his third album with this group entitled Battlestions & Escape Plans . The album not only showcases Stockton's robust drumming and creative composing skills, but also his writing skills as it is based on an original short story of his that is included with the album.

Stockton maintains a busy schedule of performing, recording, and teaching around North America. He is a frequent guest artist at colleges and high schools around the United States largely due to his hefty resume of past performances ranging from jazz trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson to Hip-hop artist Erika Badu to the big band jazz of the University of North Texas One O'clock Lab Band to jazz pianist David Braid to Broadway diva Jennifer Holiday.

Stockton is an Artist in Residence at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, in Ft. Worth, TX, an Adjunct Faculty member at the University of North Texas, in Denton, TX, and music director at Grace Fellowship Church, in Paradise, TX. Stockton also owns and operates his own independent records label, Armored Records, which focuses on releases by up and coming jazz artists.
