  • Bio

    .. .. "we just want to connect them to the Maker....".. it's been 19 years since wahba first picked up a guitar. since then, the calling of this egyptian-american worship artist has become more and more clear: to write and lead worship songs that engage people with their Creator. disarming and multi-sensory, worship services with this three-time Momentum Awards nominee have helped make that connection. .... as worship leader at Hope Chapel (Apex, NC) wahba frequently incorporates congregational scripture readings, communion, and "multiple-choice-worship" (where the congregation gets to choose what is sung). worship experiences with wahba have been compared to the likes of David Crowder and Chris Tomlin. .... "we stay pretty busy....".. supporting his solo releases, LIVE @ GJ'S (2007), THE BEAUTIFUL EFFECT (2005) and PROSKYNEO (2004), wahba's congregation-audiences have ranged from youth & college-age to adult services. he and his band have led worship with groups from multiple ethnic backgrounds, gathering an email list of over 500 fans. since early 2006, they have been invited to open for Natalie Grant, Leeland, Pillar, Kutless, By the Tree, Christafari and FFH. .... "it's modern worship - that doesn't sound like U2".. drawing less from modern shoe-gazer-soft-rock or contemporary nu-metal heroics, wahba's edgy/raw music style is more like Led Zeppelin meets Stevie Wonder. funky, soulful and loud..... though currently seeking management and label representation, wahba has garnered much industry attention as an independent artist. THE BEAUTIFUL EFFECT reached the top ten on multiple indie charts in early 2006. wahba remained within the top 20 highest rated artists on Indieheaven.com for the majority of 2006. he was nominated for an En Sound Music Award in late 2007. and recently, wahba had three songs simultaneously chart within the top ten Christian rock tracks on the Podsafe Network..... "go ahead - burn, download, share".. wahba insists that his music is not his own. that his songs are the creation of One greater than he. therefore, he is commonly heard telling his fans to burn and copy his CDs for all their friends. licensing all his songs under a ..creative commons.. copyright, wahba freely encourages burning, sharing and downloading of his music..... wahba... progressive :: emergent :: worship ::.. .. ..wahba's CDs at CDbaby.com.... ..wahba on itunes.. .... .. .... .. .......... ..........

  • JESUS LUVS YOU

    He has loved me from the beginning.
    I wouldn't accept Him.
    He has been present every moment of my life.
    I wouldn't acknowledge Him.
    He wanted to carry my burdens.
    I wouldn't let Him.
    He wanted to ease my pain.
    I wouldn't give it to Him.
    Yet in my deepest and darkest moment,
    He carried me through to the end;
    Where on bended knee before His Son,
    I humbled myself and . . .
    Accepted His Grace,
    His Mercy, His Peace, And His Love in Faith.
