Artists in Residence

Learn From the Best

Our Artist in Residence program offers Conservatory of Music students a unique opportunity to learn from artists who are at the top of their field. These artists may teach a course, lead a masterclass or perform a recital of their own.

Matt Redman

Worship artist Matt Redman serves as Songwriter in Residence at Biola University's Conservatory of Music, where students have the opportunity to learn directly from the influential, double-Grammy winning worship leader throughout the year. In his role, he guest lectures in Worship Arts courses, among other education and music arts opportunities.

Redman’s journey as a worship leader and songwriter has taken him to countries such as South Africa, Japan, India, Australia and the Czech Republic. Along the way he has sung in venues such as Madison Square Garden, Wembley Stadium and the Royal Albert Hall — as well as recording in iconic studios such as Abbey Road in London and Capitol Records in Los Angeles. His best known songs include "The Heart of Worship," "Blessed Be Your Name," "Our God" and the double-Grammy winning "10,000 Reasons." More recent co-writes include "Do It Again" and "Build my Life."
