Artist History My recorded music came out of my prayer life. As I faced challenges in my walk with Christ, I came to God in the midst of my frustration and trial through music. God was gracious enough to meet me there, and call me gently back to Himself. My experience felt similar to what I've seen in the Psalms as people cried out to God. I share this with the hope that in it, you might be touched by Christ as well. +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ I feel like I was born on the stage. I'm the son of a pastor. As a child, everyone knew all about me even before I met them. I started performing in musical theater and choir when I was five years old. I loved music- I think it was a gift to me at a very early age. I was part of several honor choirs, I was accepted to the first class of California State Summer school for the Arts. I've had the chance to be a guest worship leader in churches and youth conferences throughout California. I've also been blessed with the opportunity to share my music with several thousand youth throughout my ten summers of camp leadership at Calvin Crest Christian Conferences. +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ I am now serving as the Associate Pastor of Tokyo Union Church in Tokyo Japan.
