Roger is an accomplished composer, having had works commissioned and performed by leading orchestras and ensembles across Canada, and has had several works professionally published and recorded. A graduate from Juilliard with a Masters in Music Composition, Roger teaches composition part-time at the University of Toronto, and has taught Worship and Music at Tyndale University College.

Irene has over twenty years of experience leading worship in choirs, worship teams and as a soloist in Toronto, Canada. Irene’s vision is to continue the tradition of rich lyrics found in traditional hymns in more contemporary music settings. Her style is a fusion of classical and popular music. Most of the songs were written when Irene was asked to provide special music for church services or conferences. Her work includes arrangements for solo voice, women’s ensemble and full choirs.

Bill is recognized for his collaborative work in Canadian music. Bill's songwriting talent has been recognized by local radio stations, his songs winning talent search contests, an award from Toronto's Q-107, and a nomination for CFNY-FM's CASBY award. Bill fronted pop-rock band Eye Eye, recorded and toured with gospel-rock group Ghosttown. In 1996, Ghosttown played at the first-ever Canadian showcase during Gospel Music Week in Nashville. The band also won the National Association of Christian Artists and Songwriters (NACAS) band competition and was a finalist in the 1997 North American Talent Contest at Kingdom Bound.

If you're looking for a comparison to other artists out there, we don't know of anyone else who's doing what Bill is doing. He suggests that you listen for yourself: "Hey, I don't sound or look like anyone else. I'm totally an original, and God loves me. Check it out."

Sunworld is Bill’s first CD released under his name alone, although Bill is recognized for his collaborative work in Canadian music. Born out of Bill's dual desire to record the kind of music he loves and to glorify God, Sunworld is truly a labour of love, and has come together as a result of two and a half years of 'stolen moments' in between gigging and recording with Ghosttown, working full-time, and spending time with his family. The CD even became a family affair: The name and cover art for Sunworld were inspired by artwork created by younger daughter Mary-Margaret, who joins her sister Amy and Bill's sister Doreen to sing backing vocals for the track 'Sing to Him'. The result is a nice mix of original gospel rock songs and traditional tunes.
