I remember when I first realized that leading worship was gonna be something I would be passionate about for a long time. I was in Jr. High, had recently given my life to serving Jesus, and could only listen to the likes of Martin Smith with Delirious, Matt Redman, Darrell Evans, etc. With that passion to lead worship, I always felt a calling to write songs. I remember, even as recently as this year, listening to Tim Hughes all those years and getting so excited everytime I read/watched video of Tim making a new album. It never failed, it ALWAYS stirred something in me to see that happen in my own life. Not for fame or recognition. But because it was what He was calling me to.
The past year and a half, I’ve finally gotten to experience recording an album. It’s unreal how much goes into making a record! The hours, days, and MONTHS spent in the studio, fine-tuning each part of a song. Singing a verse or chorus over and over again until you’ve hit the right key (my bad, Levi). Writing and re-writing intros and different parts until you’ve got the perfect one. I was amazed, and still am, at the job Levi and the guys did producing this EP. Not to mention all the other things that go into it, such as having someone work on the CD artwork (thanks Marian!), sending it in for duplication, etc… it’s definitely a lot of work! But MAN is it worth it when you’re able to see and hear the finished product… SO worth it! Makes me that much more excited for the next album to come!!
The only thing more exciting.... knowing you're finally stepping into a part of your calling you never have before!
