Worship Leader Nick Drake To Release 'All For Christ'
British worship leader Nick J Drake, worship pastor at St Paul's Church in Hammersmith, London, will release his new album 'All For Christ' on 15th March 2010. Having recently signed to Survivor Records, Nick's new album features eight songs including co-writes with his wife Becky Drake plus Nick Herbert and Ben Cantelon.
"Worship has to be accessible - I learnt that from the year I spent at Trent Vineyard, Nottingham", explains Nick. "But the content matters, and I want to take people on a journey into a deeper experience. That's the sound of the album: organic - piano, drums - stripped back, simple, something that lets the music and instruments speak. Rather than turn out an iPod playlist of worship tracks we're trying to take people somewhere. We wanted it to work as a journey, something that starts with an invite to worship and that then moves into a more reflective world. At the end we arrive at the destination: a beautiful old hymn that's been re-worked."
Nick has been involved in worship since the age of 14 where he started playing guitar in the youth group of his local church. Since then, he has led worship in a number of churches and events, including Easter People, New Wine, and Share Jesus initiatives.
He was guitarist in the band Coastal Dune and has also played guitar in London band Paperadio.
