About Brent Hutchinson

Hi My name is Brent Hutchinson a full time Musician Singer Songwriter from the South of the U.K.

My younger days were spent working hard in the building industry supporting my family. Alongside, I freelanced as a guitar teacher and played around 150 live gigs a year in various cover bands and duos.

I am blessed to be skilled in many instruments, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keys, Vocals and also in music production.

A serious health scare in 2007 led me  over time being experimented on with various drugs and tests leading to a poor state of health with my breathing.  Later I was diagnosed with C.O.P.D and Asthma. Scans showed scarring on my lungs likely due to years of dust and other contaminants from working on building sites.

Fortunately specialists found medication that worked for me and this enabled  me to get fit again.

During this time I decided to go to college and I studied for a H.N.D in Music Performance and Production this led on to getting my teaching degree. I then worked at the same college I studied at.. Teaching guitar workshops to students as well as one to one learning and student support.

Cut backs led to me being made redundant so I was faced with playing live music full time. So looking at the options I decided the best way to make money was to play as a solo singer guitarist. I learned how to use a looper and have been performing solo in pubs and clubs and other events for over 10 years. I also play in a function band called The Fabulous Jam Band. As an addition to this I took to the streets Busking in various Towns and cities.

I have had some success over the years with original music releasing one album and 2 E..P.s of Blues Rock based material and I have had the pleasure of performing in many top Blues venues around the country and even did a mini tour in Moscow in 2019.

So where was God in all this?  Well he has always been there I actually accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior way back in my early 20's but I did not follow him. The title song of the new worship Album "Save me From The Wild" is about this. It wasn't until about 2 years ago I was in my Kitchen totally stressed out about where I was going with my music and I remember saying out loud "I feel like I am Going around in Circles"  That is when I had a real encounter with Jesus and I literally heard him say "Follow me, It is this way"

Soon after I began working on the Worship songs they just flowed out and during this very emotional time My wife daughter and I joined a very small local Church where my daughter and I led the Worship. This was great as it was an opportunity to try out the new material as well as learning songs by Zach Williams, Elevation Church, Casting Crowns and many more.

During this time the Lord told me that we are to move from our rented home and into a motor home not just us but also our daughter. I was like O.K. but we have no money for this. I estimated for just one van we needed at least £20.000.  It was not long before we were literally donated the full amount from a family member so a van was bought and renovations began. I put my skills from working on building sites to good use. Once this was almost completed my daughter was donated money for a van and with the sale of another vehicle we were able to do the same for her. This was all done within one year and now we are full time Van Lifers.

Now on the road the Lord is telling me to get the music out there so I got it all ready and looked for ways to get it heard. I came across Home Grown Worship on the internet and saw they were taking song submissions. I sent in a song called A Better Way and not long after Andy Baker the Founder contacted me. We had a Zoom meeting where he introduced me to the 10k Challenge and Rocket Fuel.
