Биография

Jean Watson a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who crafts ethereal, soul-capturing contemporary hymns that can inhabit the playlist of a world music radio station as easily as a Sunday morning worship service. Originally trained as a classical musician, she began writing and recording her own music when her landlord accidentally heard her singing. He was so moved by the sound of her voice that he returned her rent money and helped fund her first album! Since that time, Jean's music and compelling story have touched thousands of lives around the world. She has a heart for the hurting and is equally at home performing in concert halls, churches, coffeehouses, prisons, and homeless shelters. She feels a particular calling to Ireland where she hosts a devotional radio show on United Christian Broadcasting. Jean recently released her eleventh full-length album produced by CCM veteran Billy Smiley. She has been privileged to record with some of Nashville’s finest musicians, including Michael W. Smith, Phil Keaggy, Russ Taff, David Meece, and Peter Furler of the Newsboys. Jean is also a gifted speaker and is a partner artist with Prison Fellowship International. Currently based in Michigan, Jean is honored to be married to a pastor and retired Air Force Chaplain. Together, they have a blended family of seven children, eight grandchildren, four chickens, two dogs and a horse.
