Biography!
John Pickering – Christian Singer/Song Writer

Hello! I was born in Chesterfield, England, in 1952. I grew up in a loving Christian family and learned all about the Gospel from an early age. When I was 11 a friend gave me a guitar. My brother, who is 9 years older than me, learned to play the instrument first, and then taught me a few chords. It wasn’t long before I was hooked, and I have loved playing the guitar ever since.

When I was 20 I really committed my life to serving Christ, and that’s when I started writing Christian songs. That’s over 30 years ago, and I’m still writing! Not many of the songs are masterpieces, but they are all very different from the normal Christian material that you hear. It’s hard to explain the style because it’s very mixed, but the words are very straight forward and to the point. You’ll have to sample the music yourself to see what I mean. Up to the present time I have produced 7 CDs.

I make my living by teaching Religious Education in a local school, and in my spare time I travel around doing small concerts or preaching and singing at outreach meetings in churches. For 25 years I was a street evangelist, and this experience has coloured the way I sing and preach! I have a wife called Margaret, and 2 grown up children Wesley and Rebecca.
