He is married to his wife, Deborah Johnson and between them, they have nine children. He is an associate pastor, serving under the senior leadership of Bishop Michael Hutton-Wood of House of Judah City Church. This is his first official publication.Michael is also an accomplished musician, who plays and records under the title The Chief Musician. He has released seven albums of Christian improvised solo piano music and instrumental meditative long play music to aid prayer, meditation, and contemplation. He says of the reason for recording under the title of the Chief Musician “...The Chief Musician is anyone who has mastered music as a form of expressing the inexpressible glory of God.” His musical vision is expressed in the following statement “An inspirational and improvisational artist, Michael Johnson as the Chief Musician composes and improvises from his musical tradition of the Christian Church, his studies in modal jazz and the modern minimalistic school of classical music. His sound world is a musical collage with hymn tunes, modern jazz harmony, gospel music and the old Gregorian church modes, that juxtapose against the improvisations of Middle Eastern modes. In this melting pot of music, an eclectic sonic worldview is formed, which helps the individual to center their thoughts whilst engaged in time with prayer, reflection, and thoughtfulness. The music itself is an act of prayer, meditation, and reflection to God. As you engage with the music, you will recognize snatches of hymns, songs and themes in a pastiche of sound; the music itself will rise and fall in mood and content as often prayer does in personal experience.”visualizza meno
