"Aaron David" Polley, son of Ray Polley and Cindy L Ross, was
born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, October 10th, 1987.
He grew up in a musical family that had a long history of
accomplished musicians and songwriters. His own writing ability
surfaced at the age of 7 when his first musical arrangement was
used in a church service as a congregational song.
His musical training started on piano and theory at the age of 7
but he was not happy with the classical direction imposed upon
him by his first teacher and ceased taking classes after two
years. In his middle teen years, a talented piano performer and
teacher rekindled his musical interests allowing him to explore
other musical directions. During this time, he flourished under
her teaching and his own style on the piano surfaced.
At age 16, he added another instrument to his repertoire: guitar.
He learned to play very quickly and was asked to teach at his
Uncle's music store, after four months of self-instruction.
Besides the family musical influences, during Aaron's High School
teen years as a youth music leader in his local church in Canada,
his passion for writing and pursuing a career in Christian Music
was continuing to take shape.
Part of that journey of development included his arrival in
Australia, which came about from a series of circumstances.
After his parents' separation in 1997, his mother's poor health
forced her to move to the warmer climate of Australia where she
later remarried and became a citizen. Aaron remained in Canada
with his father but made yearly visitation trips during his school
summer breaks. These trips allowed him to gradually absorb and
experience Australia's culture.
Upon the age of 17, he graduated from Fundy High School (equivalent HSC) in Canada in 2005, as a top member of his class,
receiving many awards for distinction in extra-curricular
activities and academics. He graduated on the Principals Merit
List for maintaining an above 90% average for his entire high
school career. One of the many awards he received enabled him
to study music at any college of his choice. This honour was
granted to him by a radio station (98.1 The Tide) who had heard Aaron guest at a
local idol competition and was so impressed they offered him a
scholarship to further his career.
Upon completion of Grade 12 in 2005, he decided to move to
Australia to live with his mother and attend college so became
an Australian resident. He was accepted at Hillsong International
Leadership College in Sydney for their Worship and Creative Arts
Advance Diploma Program, starting in February 2006.
In December 2005, he became part of the worship teams at
South Coast City Church in Thirroul, NSW. After five months of
performing on the music teams as singer, pianist and guitarist,
and having an opportunity to play and share his songs, he was
put in charge of the department while the Creative Arts Director
took a maternity leave. His time there has been irreplaceable.
His versatility on the computer (for which he'd won high school
awards) has proven to be an asset to his music career: especially
since his move to Australia in 2005. Armed with a Roland digital
piano, a Maton acoustic guitar, Epiphone electric guitar,
a Mac computer with Logic Express, and a
Rode microphone, he was able to write, hone and record
his own musical creations.
Aaron’s current CD "I AM FOUND
was released January 29th, 2007 and is available through various outlets including CD Baby and iTunes.
