Early Life and Education

Matthew James Redman was born on 14 February 1974 in Watford, United Kingdom, and his family moved to Chorleywood when he was around two years old.

He was raised by his mother Mrs. Redman after his father took his own life when Matt was seven; the family later faced further hardship when his mother remarried into an abusive relationship.

He has one brother whose name is not publicly known.

Redman became a Christian at age 10 during a Luis Palau mission service at London’s QPR football stadium and was encouraged by youth leader Mike Pilavachi to begin leading worship in his teens.

Formal details of his schooling are not widely documented, as his teenage years focused on church involvement and early music ministry.

His ethnicity is White British, and he is a committed Christian.

Career

Matt Redman began his career as a teenager leading worship in his local church and at youth events, encouraged by Mike Pilavachi.

He released his first album, Wake Up My Soul, in 1993 while still in his late teens, quickly establishing himself in the UK worship scene with honest, heartfelt songs that moved beyond performance into genuine encounter.

Early work with the Soul Survivor movement helped him gain wider recognition as both a worship leader and songwriter.

He went on to release a steady stream of albums, including The Friendship and the Fear, Intimacy (later released as The Heart of Worship in the US), The Father’s Song, and Where Angels Fear to Tread.

Many of his songs became global standards, especially after collaborations with artists such as Chris Tomlin and his involvement with the Passion conferences.

In 2008 he and his family moved temporarily to Atlanta to help plant Passion City Church, an experience that further expanded his international influence before they returned to the UK.

Matt Redman built a lasting legacy as one of the most respected voices in contemporary worship.

His songs continue to be sung in churches worldwide, and his later albums, including Glory Song, Unbroken Praise, and Life & Breath, show a deepening maturity and commitment to reverence and theological depth.

Through his writing, live worship, and mentoring, he has helped shape how generations approach music in the church.
