This Is My Story

Rowan found his start in music at a young age when he would sing with my many brothers and sisters around the house in the southern San Francisco bay area in a town called Morgan Hill near San Jose.

From there, Rowan became classically trained and did many old fashioned songs and a few broadway style ones. In addition, Rowan listened to many power pop, pop/R&B, and alternative songs that were on the radio or relatively well known for indie artists. Lastly, I joined a choir in Junior College.

Later on, when Rowan became a Christian at the age of 18, he started listening to Christian music on Pandora such as The Afters, Relient K, Switchfoot, Britt Nicole, Toby Mac and many other artists. Rowan was very inspired by the lyrics and these artists’ constant positivity when faced with life’s challenges.

After going to college, making friends, and reading the new and old testament and understanding a better way of life, Rowan discovered that something was missing. Rowan was missing that purpose that has always been on his spirit. Therefore, Rowan decided to join a worship team at his church and also a choir hosted by an addiction recovery center he was working for, whose focus was Christian Contemporary songs. 

After a while, Rowan wanted to share his own story. Rowan’s life has been characterized by many trials, failures, yet constant encouragment and courage in the face of difficulty. Rowan has discovered that life is not meant to be lived alone, but must be lived interdependently with others.

Around 2019, just before the pandemic, Rowan started to write songs during temporary work he was hired for. Since then, Rowan has tried to make the songwriting dream a reality. Thanks to a couple studios and a community called Song Chasers, Rowan has been able to start pursuing this God-given dream to write songs that many people will likely beneift from.
