Christian Music Profile: Phil Driscoll

Phil Driscoll (born November 9, 1947 in Seattle, Washington), is a Contemporary Christian singer, composer, and (perhaps best known as) a trumpet player. He has a music and speaking ministry. Driscoll won a Best Gospel Performance Grammy for a duet with Debby Boone on "Keep the Fire Burning," and has been nominated for two additional Grammy's for Best Pop Album and Best Gospel/Pop Album. He also has won numerous other national awards for his music, including the Christian Country Music Association Award for Best Musician and Canadian Country Musical Association's Musician of the Year.



In the 1970s, Driscoll was touring and recording with major music acts, including Stephen Stills, Leon Russell, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and Joe Cocker—as well as the London Philharmonic Orchestra. After becoming increasingly involved with illegal drug use, Driscoll became a Christian on Christmas Day in 1977. He then gave up using drugs, and dedicated his musical efforts to furthering the Christian faith.

In 1981, Driscoll recorded his first album, "Ten Years After," sharing his new-found Christian beliefs. In 1983, he released "I Exalt Thee," winning a GMA Dove Award for Instrumental Album of the Year.
