I am a musician and music producer, especially in the style of the 90's worship phenomenon that was Hosanna Music.
Having grown up in a Christian home where my parents subscribed to the Hosanna! Music series, I remember the excitement as a 10-11 year old when the next tape or CD was pushed through the door by the postman.
I couldn’t wait to get it on the home hi-fi system to check out what cool chords, rhythms, melodies and instrumental solos would feature on this latest album.
Whilst my contemporaries were excited about the latest Michael Jackson, Kula Shaker, REM, Radiohead, Nirvana, Oasis albums I was truly a Hosanna! Music nerd!
I remember reading all of the liner notes to read what little information I could about the album, obviously in later years Hosanna! Music decided to credit the other musicians on the albums. But one name that constantly featured in them all was of course – Tom Brooks!
