"Pray
as though everything depended upon God. Work as
though everything depended upon you." - Saint Augustine
2005 Was a year of much prayer and much labor for
me. It was a time that stretched me in ways I
could never have imagined. However, I have learned
many valuable things from 2005...one of which is how to
persevere and never stop challenging myself. I
believe 2006 is a year of Favor and Great Grace.
Although my biggest challenges lie ahead of me, I will
meet them the same way....much prayer and much labor.
Keep Pressing On!

"Minstrels
are few and far between, musicians come a dime a dozen."

At
the age of 3, Aaron W. Lindsey began to take interest in
the way things made sounds. He would tap on the floor
with his mother's butter knives or play on top of his
school desk during class. Of course, this was a very
irritating thing, and soon thereafter teachers would
call home and tell Aaron's parents of this disruption.
With some stern advice, he was obedient and learned to
control his impulses. Though distracting, it was very
evident that his abilities were not average. This was
truly a gifted child.
Growing up as the son of a
minister of music and choir director, Aaron was
surrounded with music at all times. This musically
inclined household was shaping his ability to hear far
more than anyone realized. With music being such a force
in the home Aaron's gift was able to mature and enrich
through the guidance of his father. With such a strong
musical upbringing, Aaron was given many opportunities
to meet some of that day's most renowned artists, many
of which are still on today's Billboard Charts. Aaron
was taken to see all of his favorite artists in concert,
and just like his father, his gift made room for Him in
the music industry.
Thanks to his exposure at a
young age, his expectation for excellence was very high,
which inspired him to become highly skilled on multiple
instruments. Aaron has been a drummer since age 9,
saxophonist since age 13, and bassist since 15. As he
grew more proficient on these instruments, he felt a
need for a deeper pursuit and tried the piano with no
formal training. That is were he came into his destiny.
By age 19, he had played on four nationally released
recordings and had performed in numerous
concerts.
Since the small beginnings, Aaron is
considered by many successful Artists to be one of
Gospel’s top young producers. He is a well sought after
pianist and also is an accomplished songwriter and
singer.
Aaron's relentless desire to excel in
the music field has lead him into an entirely different
season in life. He is the now the Musical Director for
Israel and New Breed, and co-founder of New Breed
Productions. This company was founded in 2002 and has
been hot on the trails of some of the industry's most
respected production companies.
Aaron also
serves as the Director of Music for International
Covenant Ministries which is founded and lead by Dr.
Creflo A Dollar Jr. His works can be heard on national
radio and television, and on many of Billboard's Top Ten
Gospel and Christian Projects.
If asked he will
admit with a smile "My greatest production credits are
the 2 beautiful children that I helped to
produce!"
