TAUREN WELLS
Tauren wells could be said to be my favorite artist. I really like his songs because he is a worshiper of God. His songs are very youthful. Born on April 7, 1986 (33 years), his occupation as I said before singer. Wells is married and together they have three children. Wells is a staff member of his father-in-law's church in Houston (Royalwood). Wells and his wife started at the Prisma Worship Arts School, to train musicians. Throughout the school, Prisma offers private training in piano, drums, guitar, bass, voice, violin, viola, and cello. The genres of music he produces are Pop, Christian Rock, contemporary Christian music. You can find his music on YouTube, Spotify, Google Play Music, Deezer and TuneIn.
Well one of my favorite songs of him is called echo and I like a specific part that saysWhen my mind says I'm not good enough God, You're enough for me, yeah I've decided I'm not giving up 'Cause You won't give up on me You won't give up on meYour love is holding on and it won't let go I feel it breaking out like an echo Your love is holding on and it won't let go I feel it breaking out like an echo
This part gives me so much happiness because I know that I am not enough for such a great God, powerful majestic, etc but even so he loves us and the only thing he wants is for you to give him his heart.
Royal Tailor was tha band that he was before.Eventually, life pointed in other directions. The guys began to marry and start families, and their perspective of life on the road changed. In 2015, the group parted ways to pursue individual interests.But Tauren feels he has unfinished business.In many ways, pursuing a solo career feels like a complete reboot. May 2016 saw the release of his first music in three years. The hard-hitting “Undefeated” featured Reach Records’ rapper KB and served as the soundtrack for the internet-famous Dude Perfect’s “World Records Edition” episode on YouTube, which garnered over 14 million views in just three weeks.It’s a taste of the unconventional approach he and his team are planning. “I want to be a pioneer for Christian music, but I’m not trying to be famous or be cool for the sake of being cool,” he explains. “I want to say something that impacts people.”Back home, Tauren and his wife, Lorna, have been quietly busy building a life around ministry and music. In addition to serving on staff at her father’s church in Houston (Royalwood), the two have launched a private music academy called Prisma Worship Arts School, which has expanded to two locations with 20 “Dream Coaches” and 100 students – in just two years.The couple also travels regularly to help churches develop worship teams and music programs.“We said this from the beginning: We are called to this,” he says. “I may be the artist that’s got the deal, but this is a family calling. We found our thing, which is Prisma. We pour into that together equally. Everything else we do, we’re also connected on.
” That commitment to family is part of the way, Tauren continues to rewrite the narrative of his life’s story.Coming from a broken home seemed like a set back for Tauren but ultimately was a setup for God to do what He does best; create beauty from brokenness.“My parents actually met acting and performing in musical theater. They may deny this now but they were both natural entertainers. My mom acts on occasion locally in my hometown. My Dad was really into music and we had all kinds of instruments, drums, keyboards, you name it, in our house. Looking back, I can’t believe he used to let me mess with all his stuff... I could’ve destroyed it at six or seven years old.”“It was actually my dad and ‘step’ mom’s (we don’t use that term) relationship that ultimately led to us making God and faith a real priority. I’m grateful for my blended family and I have strong with relationships with all four of my parents. God truly builds on what remains in our lives.
As I plugged into church, that brought other really influential people into my life.”He benefitted from the presence and involvement of his uncle, who was also his youth pastor and worked at Tauren’s high school. He mentored Tauren, even helping him study John Maxwell books on leadership during his lunch period. Over time, Tauren became hooked on youth ministry and singing.“Seeing him doing ministry and all of that inspired me to think, That’s what I want to do,” Tauren says. “I spoke to our youth quite a bit. He helped me put ideas together. I’d always submit my messages to him, and he would walk through them with me. He showed me, ‘This is how you move on the stage. This is what you do with the mic. This is how you address the people in the room.
