Biography
Pastor Emmanuel’s journey began very early, as being a pastor’s kid, he was made to attend prayer services all week and there began his love and fascination for music and musical instruments – keyboard especially. At first, he didn’t quite understand why his father made it compulsory for him and his siblings to attend every prayer meeting but today when he looks back, he sees the hand of God through it all.
One day during the service, Pastor Yesanna, the founder of Hosanna Church Ministries, told Emmanuel to sing a song at a crusade of thousands of people. The young Emmanuel, then just about ____ year old, nervous and skinny began singing for the Lord and never looked back since.
Over time Pastor Emmanuel became known for his keyboard playing skills and began travelling with the best of the worshipers across India- Uncle Vijay Benedict, Pastor Anil Kant, Pastor Anthony Raj, Pastor Keerthi Sagathia etc.
It was somewhere between singing and playing for a money, fame and popularity that a sudden encounter with the truth- our Lord Jesus Christ transformed him from the inside out. His purpose and outlook were changed. He went on to pursue his bachelor’s in Theology from Southern Asia Bible College Bangalore which increased his understanding of the Word of God and true worship.
He would often wonder why do our Christian brothers and sisters dance to secular music at wedding functions. Realising the gap between the music used in church services (which the young consider old-fashioned etc) and the kind of music played at these functions (up-tempo, fast and contemporary), he decided to work on creating songs that could bridge this gap and be a means for the unsaved to hear the gospel in secular venues too.
