Songwriter

Music and lyrics have always been an important part of Rob's life. He has sang professionally all over the UK as a solo artist and as part of several bands and worked for almost a decade as a BBC journalist and broadcaster.

From a young age Rob wrote songs to cope with his emotions and to help to process thoughts and observations. When he became a Christian he then started to write about his faith. An intense spiritual encounter saw a change in direction in Rob’s songwriting and led him back to the heart of worship.

As well as producing albums and songs, Rob and his team also offer songwriting consultation for aspiring artists and sessions for those who would like to start to write songs or lyrics.


The songs are inspired by God and focused on Him and His truth, which leads people to express their own hearts back to Him.

”When I started to share the songs I was blown away by the response. People picked them up straight away and some came up to me in tears saying how the songs had spoken into situations they were facing.

It encouraged me to keep sharing what I’d been given.
— Rob Westall
