Award-winning Gospel Singer Lanny Wolfe

According to his biography on the official website of Paradigm Music, he was born and reared in Columbus, Ohio, in a middle-class family. Precious, his mother, was the daughter of a Methodist pastor. Any music in his DNA was channeled via her.

It is also mentioned on the same website that throughout his childhood, together with his mother and siblings, they took the city bus to church every week. Because churches in his faith did not have paid music ministers, he never contemplated a career in music as a child.

Referring to the same website, Lanny mentioned that Ruth Morgan, his junior high school music teacher, and Lois Newstrand, a pastor's wife who played piano and organ, sang, directed choirs, and permitted him to play piano for the camp choir as a teenager, were two people who helped cultivate his love of music in general, and gospel music in particular.

Following his narrative on the same website, it is mentioned that in 1974, just when he and his wife thought God was about to let them settle down, He took us once more — this time to Jackson, Mississippi, where he became Dean of the School of Music at Jackson College of Ministries.

In line with that, it is also mentioned that he has completed his Master's Degree in Music Education over that summer before commencing at JCM.

In the 1970s, as per the same page, he composed his first two musicals, "Greater Is He" and "Noel, Jesus Is Born," in addition to the songs he wrote for the Trio's many albums. Because of the tremendous success of Noel, Jesus Is Born, his publisher at the time, the Benson Company, urged him to write another musical.

As mentioned on the same page, He is presently based in Houston, where he is writing more than ever before and leading choir workshops around the country.

Wolfe believes, as per the same page that God has graciously supplied the vision and resources for a new firm, Paradigm Music Productions, which will publish, market, and promote Lanny Wolfe's music in the church industry.
