Michael Hart

BACKGROUND

Back Cover Michael is originally from Montreal. He moved to England with his family the year the Beatles broke loose in the UK. He went to an all boy's Catholic school, and after to the University in Grenoble to get his French back. After he studied law at The University of Kent, England, he moved to Vancouver after a period of travel to take a teaching degree at UBC. Unsure about committing to a legal vocation, he ventured into some musical studies in a jazz-commercial music program in Vancouver, then launched into the arts in 1979. In 1984, he responded to the calling of being a musical artist and teacher after some studies at Regent College. With a passion for Christian faith and ministry opportunities, he sought to develop his art with integrity.

In 1985 he married Jan and they had two children, Jessi and Joel. Over the past 25 years he has recorded eight releases, played at Festivals, Banquets, conferences, retreats, services, and played in every Province in Canada. Aside from singing and playing he has also spoken, taught, told stories, jokes and whispered about the beauty of God's Kingdom.
