I started listening Christian music when i was just 11yrs old (1996). My older sister would let me borrow some of her Tapes mostly Don Moen, Hillsong etc. Some of my musical influences were from them. I got interested on piano when i was just 14 yr old. Then I started playing Twinkle twinkle, happy birthday, (melody part only).
I thank God because He lead and guided me to people who helped me developed this God given talent. I did not have proper education or a paid tutor 4me to know the fundamentals. It was the grace of God that made it possible. Learning did not happen over night. it was hard because i dont have a keyboard of my own back then. So what i did was, i draw a keyboard in a paper just to memorize the chords and discover chord pattern for my little fingers. I would spend 3hours/day to familiars the keys. Little did I know, each day i was improving. It changed my life. It gave me the courage to live this life.
There is hope. Don't under estimate God's purpose in your life.
