There's a really great bio that was written about me that sounds so good, I'm not sure it's really about me. It was long and it took forever to scroll down this page... so I took it off.
From my perspective, I'm a guy from outside Pittsburgh, PA who's been singing and loving music since before I could talk. I think taking thoughts from deep with your heart and expressing it in an artform of organized vibrations is strange and yet incredible. When I'm old I want to write soundtracks for epic movies, or write the music for Mitsubishi commercials... those rock.
For now, I'm a worship leader in Atlanta, GA, a husband, a father, a brother, a son, an uncle, a friend, a child of God, a Steeler fan and for the first time, a recording artist. Proverbs 27:21 says “The purity of silver and gold is tested by putting them in the fire; The purity of human hearts is tested by giving them a little fame.” Hopefully, this attention (both positive and negative) will make my heart more like Christ.
Hey A, just heard this morning on K-Love that your son Nick has the swine flu and want to leave you this comment, he will be healed in the name of Jesus and that flu will be gone. I will be praying for you and your family.
I was having a really rough day and on the verge of tears. I just happened to turn to klove on the radio and heard "To God Alone". I really listened to the words and I couldn't help but smile. You helped me remember how amazing God is.I just wanted to say thank you. I can't stop playing that song now.
I just wanted to let you know that my new album JUST released onto iTunes! Also, a donation will be made for every album download to aid America Samoa after the devastating Tsunami earlier in the week. Let me know what your favorite one is!!
I loved the concert last night at Church at Chapel Hill, it was AWE-INSPIRING! God just took over! I pray y'all have a safe journey on the rest of the tour! God Speed!
Thank you so much for coming to Duluth last night! You and your music are absolutely amazing. It was awesome to watch the love you have for our Lord shine through. You are such a blessing and I pray that the Lord continues to bless you richly. Please come back soon! Thank you for everything - the amazing music, the autographs and chats we had last night. God bless you, Aaron. In Christ, Erin (remember me?)
Hello enjoyed your concert at Celebration Church in Green Bay!!! Let me know what you think of my music.Have you heard of an Indie Christian Label from Nashville call South Prowl, they contacted me. I was hoping to meet you after the show, but I guess that's not what the good Lord had in mind at this time.
I just saw you at the Marion, IL Glory Revealed show a month ago and since I bought your cd I have been looking for more music from you. Well I found out you gave away some Christmas songs free last year and I was wondering if you are going to do it again this year? I wasn't able to get any of them but O Come, O Come Emmanuel as the rest of the links were expired and I can't find them anywhere to buy. Please tell me you are going to give them away again this year too. I will keep my eyes out this year and I look forward to hearing more music from you in the future.
