After being involved in witchcraft as a young teenager, Ezekiel came to Christ in 2003 at the age of 14 after visiting a local church with his school. It wasn’t long after that he became involved in the youth group, trying to serve in whatever way possible. After being a part of the youth group for a year, he became more involved in the youth worship team, leading worship on the occasional Friday night club, Y?OUTH (Youth?, Opportunity, Unity, Truth, Hope). At the age of 16 he became the co-director for the youth worship team, and also became the pianist and lead vocalist of one of the church worship bands, “Paid In Full”. He went on to regularly lead worship for both the Friday night Y?OUTH and the Sunday family and evangelism services.

Since the age of 17, Ezekiel has gone on to lead worship at various events and churches in Germany, England, Texas USA, Colorado USA, and Ontario, Canada. In the summers of 2006 and 2007, Ezekiel lead worship whilst volunteering at Teen Mania Ministries in Texas, for groups of volunteers, joined by Pastor John Perks who would bring a message straight from the heart of the Lord. God has blessed Ezekiel with an anointing to lead people into a place of intimacy before the Lord. He has seen many lives changed through an encounter with the Lord through worship.

Since 2006, Ezekiel has been writing songs of worship. Songs that he has written are already being sung in churches in Australia, England and in Texas, as well as demo recordings of some songs being played on Christian radio stations across the United States. He aims to bring a true British passion and excitement to the worship scene in Canada and across the world with anthemic songs and melodic music that cause people to press in deeper in worship and intimacy with the Lord.

In 2014, he moved to Kelowna, British Columbia in Canada to serve under Wesley and Stacey Campbell with Be A Hero as a Ministry Associate Worship and Prayer Coordinator. In 2015 after spending 3 weeks as a missionary in the Philippines, he felt that God was calling him to move to the Philippines to be a father to the fatherless in the nation. He is currently serving as a missionary in Manila with Be A Hero, under the guidance of Bishop Chito Sanchez with Harvest International Ministries (HIM) and River of God Church.
