7 Questions With Micah Whitley | Music Director

by Dave Franco

Where are you from?
San Diego.

Are you married/have children?
My wife is Desdemona and we have four kids; Micah Jr., David, James and Angela.

Do you come from a musical household?
Oh, yeah. My mom and dad met singing gospel and our house was so filled with it at all times, it was just a part of what we did. It wasn’t as if we decided to sing. We were always singing.

So you performed?
We formed a group called the Whitley’s and performed at different churches and events.

How old were you?
Five. I rocked the harmonies.

That started a career in music, right?
Yes. I wrote and produced for different acts and scored video games and TV shows. That was before God. In a series of events, God brought me to work in His service, and then ultimately to the Rock.
