Artist Bio:
Gilbert Mulamba is an artist who enjoys playing gentle and uplifting melodies on the piano. He has often been referred as the worship musician. At the age of 9, he started playing on a piano that his father bought from a retired American missionary in his native Congo. He has played and recorded on other artists' albums, and Trustin' Him is his first release.
Gilbert learned to play on a self-built guitar on which the strings came from motorcycle and bicycle brake cables. When building one of his guitars, he once had a four-inch nail perforate his right knee, but caused no damage. He would sometimes walk for miles to a location where he could learn to use a Casio electronic keyboard. When he joined a band made of American embassy workers, he saved enough money after two years of gigs to buy his first keyboard workstation. He went on to release a limited number of the first Christian instrumental music tape in Congo, which was even played in bars and pubs .
Gilbert gave his life to the Lord as a teenager, and has consistently been part of the music ministry at various churches. He was a pianist at the largest church in Central Africa. Many of those who know him have often labeled him the "worship Musician" because his playing style and his heart create a worship environment with his music expressions.
Gilbert has a prophetic call through the music he produces. Ultimately, this CD was recorded for those seeking to have a worshipful and comforting environment. Each of the 11 tracks will intimately minister to you as you listen to this amazing CD.
The artist has established a worship recording label in the Raleigh area (Anointed Melody), with the purpose to bless, encourage, build up the Body of Christ through fresh, passionate and relevant music and movie projects.
Gilbert holds a master's degree in biology from West Chester University, and went on to work for seven years as a research scientist with Harvard Medical School in Boston. He currently resides in Raleigh, N.C., with his wife, Sylvia, and their two children, Jessye (8) and Jeremy (5). He currently serves as worship musician and keyboardist at Raleigh International Church.
Among his other collaborative works, he recently produced the soundtrack for "Dear Angry," a Christian short film (on DVD) by Anthony Miller, which has been getting excellent national reviews. He also produced Running With the Fresh Wind, music for the poetic testimony of Prophetess Zanderland Asante, which is also being distributed nationally. —Courtesy Calabash Music
