John Angotti is an accomplished pianist who began studying piano at the age of seven. His mother, who has been a church musician for over 50 years, motivated him to become involved with the children’s choir at a very early age. "I believe it was there where I truly began to form my beliefs about God through the songs we were singing," Angotti says.

     John has been writing Christian music since his teen years at St. Joseph Seminary, where he was considering priesthood. "After I left the seminary, it never dawned on me that God perhaps wanted me to do something else for the church, perhaps more suited for the gifts God gave me,” he says. It was in the music director positions where he found himself composing songs for worship and meditation. He wanted the congregation to participate in song and prayer.

 "...I feel that no matter what I want to do with my life on a personal side, I've come to see that my vocation in life is to help the people of this world come to know God, both on a personal and communal level..."
