About Me

My photo
I was born to sing. I am a singer/songwriter and pianist currently serving as worship leader of my church. Growing up, there was only one passion for me and that was singing. Although I went to music college and studied classical singing and piano, I never liked that style of music. I've always preferred contemporary styles, blues, rock, ballads and soul. Although my goal is to record an album I think that the challenge of making this dream come true, is the real prize for me. When I sing for the Lord's purposes, namely worship of Him, I believe that I am accomplishing what I was created to do. And I want to share this with everyone with your help.

"ising4him"

Many years ago, I gave up my youthful dream of becoming a professional secular singer. That decision was made after I became a Christian and realized that God had created me and given me talents that He intended for His use and not mine. Hence the title of my album, "ising4him", depicts what I believe the purpose of my life is . I have sung in many places and in many styles over the years and have enjoyed it all. But none better than in my home church, singing the songs that the Lord has helped me to write. It is a wonderful thing to be able to fulfill my purpose for being in this world. I have no regrets for my decision.

I would like to be able to record the songs that I have written for Him to share with everyone. Please consider contributing to that cause. Thanks. Chris

Moving Ahead

It's been several months since I posted, but things are still moving ahead, albeit slowly. God has recently blessed me with a new song. I have been praying about that, wanting to write another song that is not only worshipful, but one that would be in a more contemporary style. I spent 3 weeks trying to write a song under a new song writing format on my computer. After struggling for those 3 wks. I sort of gave up. Then one morning, a rythmic line and a few words started replaying over and over in my head. Instantly I knew that "this was it".. ... so I went to the piano room and in 15 minutes had most of the new song written. It's great. Not that I'm bragging, but it's what I prayed for. Good lyrics, nice melody, contemporary and not contrived. I'm writing about things in my life that I relate to personally and also most everyone else can relate to as well.

Here's the latest on the the recording. Last monday nite a meeting was held at the church with a friend who has a recording program. We will begin on Monday nights to lay down recording tracks, one track at a time of the new song. From there we will decide how to use the song to promote the bigger project, which is ultimately, the album. Thanks for following. Chris
