Nathan KeysDIM THE LIGHTS, CLEAR THE STAGE AND LET THE GENUINE WORSHIP BEGIN!
Nathan Keys Is a local Winnipeg musician who's goal is to see the LORD lifted high on our praises. Nathan has genuine and true heart for worship longing that through his life, stand and music people would not only here his music but encounter the Loving Creator of this universe. Growing up Nathan was Inspired and hugely Influenced by genuine Worship leaders like Robin Mark and Paul Baloche who's songs are sung all across the world through the mouth of Gods people. Originally from the countryside of Northern Ireland, his family moved to Canada when he was 14 years old Growing up, Nathan was a shy and introverted kid afraid of speaking in front of people. However, God changed that and has given him the strength to lead worship. Nathan felt God stirring in his spirit a call to lead His people to the throne of God in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24). A Personal Message From Nathan: One of my favorite worship songs is "The Heart of Worship" by Matt Redman, which has been central to my worship leading. I don't care about the flashy lights or effects, as my heart's desire is to see God's people fall face down and worship the True Living God. While I love having a full band, there is something intimate about having just a guitar (or piano) and our voices lifting up the name above all names. I don't know where this journey is headed, but I know I need to be faithful to the calling that God has placed on my life. For a list of my original songs that I've recorded, check out my YouTube Channel. God bless. |

As early as he can remember, music has been a major part of life. David was born to Warren and Linda Bracken - two of the four members of the Canadian vocal group Power in Praise. He and his siblings would often find themselves up on stage, singing as a family, not even realizing that they were a part of these big concerts. Singing was just a part of life. After graduating high school and receiving a certificate in ministry from one of YWAM's Discipleship Training Schools, David found himself working and learning under the tutelage of Willard and Betty Thiessen as a studio cameraman, lighting technician, and floor director at the Canadian Christian Television program "It's A New Day". While at the same time, getting his feet wet in music ministry as a member of the Winnipeg-based Christian band "Isaiah's Answer" (which in 2006 received a Covenant Award nomination). But this was only the launching pad for what God had in store. David is proud to be serving the Lord and going as far as He will lead - singing, speaking, leading, laughing, encouraging, and loving every minute of it! David Resides in Manitoba with his wife Samantha, son Noah , and daughter Maelle. |

Preston TanghePreston is a artist from Winnipeg, MB. He has been singing since he was a young kid and was exposed to lots of oldies music from his parents. Growing up, Preston also enjoyed listening to r&b slow jamz, pop, and Hip-hop. Later on, Preston picked up a guitar in highschool and was heavy influenced by rock and jazz music but never revealed his talent for singing to anyone. His vocals could be comparable to the styles of Sam Smith and John Mayer with rhythmic bluesy, jazzy and R&B guitar playing. Tanghe's music is very personal as it speaks about relationship, addiction and struggles but his songs also contain an encouraging and uplifting message to those suffer. Preston wants to break the chains of conditioning and trauma, to heal completely and totally be himself. Newer music written by Preston reflects spiritual learnings about awareness and consciousness, realizing God within ourselves and the power our thoughts have.
