自打13岁在教堂领唱以来，Aaron Crider对福音音乐便不再陌生。Aaron的音乐启蒙是从二年级开始的——在那时，他收到了一份雅马哈电子琴作为圣诞礼物。之后，他开始了他的音乐旅程。2006年，他签约Dville Records，发行了首张专辑《Phenomenon》。2010年，他转签Daywind Records，发行了这张《The Change》的EP。讲讲Aaron是如何走上福音这条道路的：1996年，在参观Pensacola Florida一座教堂的时候，Aaron遇到了人生的转折点。那时，他首次“接触”到了上帝。几周后，在他家乡教堂的圣餐台边，他感觉到上帝在跟他的心说话。上帝告诉他，希望他当一名虔诚的教徒，而不是一名流行歌星。此后，他参加了圣经大学(bible college)。不久，他顺利毕业，并取得了学士学位。From leading worship at his church at 13 to recording with Rita Springer and Jason Upton Aaron Crider is no newcomer to the music and worship scene. Aaron's musical aspirations began in the second grade. After receiving a Yamaha keyboard for Christmas, Aaron began a journey that would prepare him for a successful future in music. In 1996, while visiting a church in Pensacola Florida, Aaron was deeply touched by God. This was a significant turning point in his life, both in his Christian walk and in receiving direction for his future. A couple of weeks later, while at the altar of his home church, God spoke to Aaron's heart. The Lord spoke to him that He was calling him to be a worshipper, who would lead others before God’s throne, rather than pursuing a career as a pop star. It was with this fresh fire and call on his heart that Aaron began attending bible college. Upon graduating and receiving a Bachelors Degree in practical ministry and worship, he immediately joined the faculty of F.I.R.E. School of Ministry as music director. Since then Aaron has traveled throughout the United States and overseas in Asia, Europe, and South America leading people in worship and recording worship albums. Aaron uses his music to minister in church events, worship conferences, worship concerts, and teaching all over the world. A highlight for Aaron came in 2002, when he was invited to be involved with the "The Call, New York City,” where 100,000+ would gather and pray for revival. Aaron can be seen regularly leading worship with the likes of Rita Springer, Jason Upton, and Leonard Jones. Jason Upton recently had Aaron lay some background vocals for him on his new "Beautiful People" record and has this to say about Aaron's music "Aaron's music is very kingdom focused. It exposes people to the majesty of God and His kingdom" Jason Upton Aaron is also currently recording a new live worship album due out in July entitled "Aaron Crider Live" with Rita Springer and Leonard Jones. Rita leads Aaron's song "He Shall Be Called" and it's sure to be a favorite track on the record. Aaron is also a Mission Of Mercy recording artist www.missionofmercy.org. Other MOM artists include Sarah Kelly and Kevin Max. Mission of Mercy is a Christian based humanitarian organization helping to meet the physical and spiritual needs of children in poverty-stricken areas of the world. In 2006 Aaron signed with Dville Records who is partnered with Word Distribution and Springhill Media. Aaron connected with producer Kevan Cyka and Musicians Mark Hill (Stevan Curtis Chapman, FFH) Dan Needham (Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, and Point of Grace) and George Cocchini (Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, DC Talk) to record the studio worship album “Phenomenon”. Aaron began pre-release sales on stage with Sonicflood last year in Ralaigh NC. Aaron's vision is to, first, be the kind of worshipper that the Father seeks according to John 4:23-24 and, second, lead others to become true worshippers themselves, rather than just those who participate in song services. It's with this passion and vision that Aaron continues to write, record, and play wherever the doors are open. Aaron currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina, with his beautiful wife, Holly, and three children Emma, Aliya, and Samuel.
