BIO

Jules Riding is a fulltime Christian singer from Auckland, New Zealand.

He has released ten albums and twice won 'Gospel Album of the Year'
at the NZ Music Awards. He has three Gold albums.

He became a Christian in 1975 after an 'extensive search for truth' through

alternative religions and after a personal crisis brought him to his knees.

He founded and directed the Elkanah School of Music Ministry which ran for

eight years on Great Barrier Island, but now concentrates his energies on
concert ministry around NZ and internationally.

His latest album 'Cataclysm' is a close examination of the way we handle

personal struggles in a pluralistic society. He also believes the growing number of global cataclysms indicates we live in a time of human history the Bible calls 'the last days'.

He lists his musical influences as the folk greats from the 60's: Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, the Christian singers Keith Green, John Michael Talbot, Michael W Smith and the Australian group Sons of Korah.

QUOTES:
'The music of Jules Riding not only warms the heart, it stirs the soul. God has given him the talent to bring tears to the eyes, and at the same time bring a clarity of focus to the vision of the Church. 
- Ray Comfort, International Evangelist

'Jules Riding shares his personal journey in a kind of stark, honest fashion which somehow has a way of catching up with you. Most of us can identify with him when the many different images he presents resonate as familiar territory to us. It could be that this album will be recognised as pivotal and prophetic, as a message for our age and times.' - Touchstone Mag, Dec 2010
