BIOGRAPHY
Take the vocal and melodic sound of
Seal; add a little funk; guitar work like Toto; bundled with a
spiritual focus; and you have - Rufus Harris.
With three projects under his belt
and two more in the making – this Recording Artist has taken Christian
music to a whole new level. Each cleverly crafted album
illustrates Rufus’ creativity and varied musical influences. His
upbringing in Alaska exposed him to all types of musical artists
ranging from Sly and the Family Stone to the Beatles.
When not performing at coffeehouses
and churches, Rufus often spends his time sharing his music at prisons
and nursing homes. He is a national platform artist for Chuck
Colson’s Prison Fellowship
and performs for inmates across the
country.
But Rufus is not just focused on his
own music ministry. In an effort to help other independent
Christian artists, he and his wife founded The CAMP – Christian Artists
and
Musicians Project – a non-profit organization that assists and
showcases diverse independent artists. The organization’s most
visible event - 4thFridays
with rufus harris has become one of Metro
Detroit’s premiere venues for Christian entertainment. The two
also run a music label and downloads store called Red Letter Records.
Rufus continues to touch many with
his unforgettable melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. He has
become a mentor to artists and prisoners and an inspiration to
Christian music lovers everywhere. He currently lives in
the Detroit area with his lovely wife Denise; has two beautiful
daughters; and two grand daughters. He is pastor of The Bridge
Church in Pontiac, Michigan.
