Matt Redman

Never particularly interested in leading the typical artist’s life, the unassuming worship leader from England, Matt Redman, is best known for penning many of the praise choruses churches sing every Sunday morning including “The Heart of Worship,” “Better is One Day,” “Blessed Be Your Name,” and “You Never Let Go.”

Matt began leading worship at age 20 in England at St. Andrews Church, in Chorleywood before moving to help start up Soul Survivor Church in Watford, England. Over the course of his career of 17 years, Matt's songs have been covered by many of his songwriting peers including Rebecca St. James, David Crowder Band, Michael W. Smith and Tree 63. In 2008, Matt, his wife and five children moved to the United States and have been an integral part of the Passion Church plant in Atlanta, Georgia, along with fellow worship artists Chris Tomlin, Christy Nockels and Passion founder Louis Giglio.

Matt's heart to reach the lost eventually returned him back to England in 2010. He moved to Brighton on the southern coast of Great Britain, to reach one of the largest "unchurched" cities in the United Kingdom. He continues to work with the Passion conferences around the world and is on the cusp of releasing his eighth album, 10,000 Reasons, in July of 2011.

In addition to a lifetime of leading worship, Matt is also the author is three books which center around the theme of worship and how that translates into the lives we lead as believers.
