Christopher Mazen

Ten years of dedicated learning and listening that captures the stories of the community by exploring artistic and social resources that exist within the community. Experienced intercultural songwriter and arranger with the release of my first album, "Divine Immigrant." Prepared to spiritually and creatively equip, resource, and consult local worship teams as they lead ethnically diverse congregations.

This unique sounding Gospel album is a musical memoir celebrating 10 years of intercultural ministry and relationships. Friends from Southeast Asia, Europe, Central and South America, Southeast Asia and the US came together virtually during the 2020 pandemic to make this possible. Featured on the album are everyday regular people as well as world renowned professionals such as multi-woodwind player Pedro Eustache from Venezuela and singer Alfreda Gerald from the US.
