Delray

Born in South Africa, I began to play piano at my father's knee. I wrote my first publicized song at 16, and was strongly influenced by Amy Grant, Michael W Smith and Kathy Troccoli. Later, several songs made it to national TV, mostly songs about multi-racial reconciliation and hope, adding a touch of ethnic rhythms. Although fairly young, I began to coach bands and worship teams from 18 onwards. It's my privilege to have been a music director for nearly 20 years and worship leader for 3 churches on 2 continents. Author of 10 musicals, I enjoy the challenge of writing for ordinary people to sing and perform, while carrying the precious eternal message of God's love to us all. I write wedding songs, theme-based ones and many Christmas ones.
