Jimmy Cruz - Guitarist, professional musician, music teacher, husband, Dad, & Grandpa. I'm passionate about teaching music & God's Word. I'm married to my beautiful wife, Cheryl. We have 5 adult kids & 2 sweet grandchildren. My wife and I are members of a wonderful Bible-believing church that worships Jesus, our Risen King! I enjoy time with my wife, family, Christian fellowship, reading, writing/performing music and physical fitness.
Band/artist history
Music had been a big part of my life since I was 10 years old. I had many wonderful guitar teachers. Played and gigged in many bands in several musical genres throughout the years. I came to encounter and know the Lord Jesus Christ in the mid-80's and my life was completely changed. I am saved, redeemed and committed to serving and living for Jesus. It has impacted my life as well as my music. For many years afterwards I've served on music worship teams at the churches that my family and I attended. Today I teach, write and record music and also record for others who also play Christ-honoring music.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, many times. Early on in night club gigs, dances, weddings, dinner clubs, events up until I encountered the love and redemption found in Jesus Christ. Afterward I served in church worship music ministry for many years.
Your musical influences
Too many to list... though these days I don't listen to much music as much as studying music. I derive most of my influence from my walk with Jesus and what my heart wants to express in music through knowing Him.
What equipment do you use?
A number of good guitars, amps and equipment. They're just tools.
Anything else?
"I will praise the name of God with song and magnify Him with thanksgiving." Psalm 69:30
