Bio
I have loved music all my life. I was 8 years old when I knew it would be a big part of who I am, but it took a friend shaking me by the shoulders at 27 and saying “this is not a hobby; this is who you are,” before I realized I would need to bring my music out of hiding. I’ve spent over a decade finding my craft and confidence, understanding who I am and how we are connected.
I write out of my life experience, much of which is the hope borne of faith in Jesus. I also write out of the pain and hurt that came from feeling rejected for most of my life. If you’ve been lost, rejected, abandoned, if you’ve found out or you need to find out that you’re actually chosen, maybe there’s something in this music for you.
I’m currently leading worship at several churches including my home church, Open Door Community Church in Sheridan, Oregon. I’m also playing with a local band, The Humlie Trio, at wineries and coffeeshops across the Willamette Valley. I’ve produced one studio album, one live acoustic album, and now we’re in process on my third project, working with talented producers. The current project is Sit For A While, with music producer Keith Sommers and video producer Jerry Monckton.
Mission Statement
With stubborn love and unyielding faith, I inspire myself and others to be real. I serve God and befriend the world using word, music and video as instruments of relationship.
Here’s How You Can Help
I stopped charging for music when I realized it was more important to me that the music should arrive in your heart, than that you should pay me for it. I launched into music as a full-time pursuit in January of 2011. If you like what you hear and you want to keep it going, if you find value in the words or the music or the video, please do show your support by making donations. I am entirely listener-supported. You’ll find an easy-to-use donation button on every page.
Another thing you can do is share it, invite someone to this website. I would like to have 3000 Bosses. What’s a Boss? Someone who thinks this music is worth paying for and makes a donation in the amount of their choosing. Could be a one-time donation, could be a monthly thing, could be whatever you decide. You’re the Boss.
If you’re a praying person, you’ll understand how valuable it is to me that you pray for me to handle this music well, both in receiving it and directing it where it needs to go.
Cool? Cool!!!
Thanks,
Len
