As a teenager first experiencing Graham Kendrick’s song at a Christian youth camp in 1988, it was Nicole’s vision that the people in the UK should be united in voice singing ‘Shine Jesus Shine’ across the nation. Having previously worked and collaborated with Steve Thompson on other music projects, and following the riots in Stockport in the UK in 2024, she knew that the time was now to make this vision a reality and reached out to Steve.
Nicole is an established music teacher and specialist in teaching piano, music theory and voice, with over 35 years’ experience in music education.
Graham Kendrick
(Songwriter)
Graham Kendrick has been described as a ‘father of modern worship music’ whose songs are ‘crammed full of poetic, divine, biblical truth’ that have ‘sculpted a view of God that has impacted generations.’ In short, Graham writes songs that help the church to sing.
Since the release of his first album in 1972, Graham has been at the forefront of contemporary Christian music in the UK, having written and recorded over 450 songs, many of which are sung around the world, including ‘Shine Jesus Shine’.
He is based in the UK and travels internationally participating in tours, festivals, conferences and training events, as a worship leader, speaker and performer.
Graham was one of the founders and the songwriter behind the global phenomenon March for Jesus, which mobilised millions of Christians to ‘take the walls off the church’ and bring praise, prayer and acts of goodwill and reconciliation onto the streets.
‘The Shine Your Light initiative is brilliant and timely! It was during a season of lifting up the name of Jesus in public spaces that Shine Jesus Shine was birthed nearly 40 years ago, so I am thrilled that the song will be sung outdoors in this way across the nation this Christmas and beyond.’
