About Nicholas Teh
Nicholas could still remember the first time he picked up a guitar. He was 10 years old when he asked his mum for his first guitar. She had bought a Kapok guitar from Singapore for his youngest uncle but since he didn't use it, it was passed on to Nicholas. When he first strummed the guitar, it was a chord that he made up himself. Then, with the help of books, friends and few simple classes, he began to be able to play the guitar. Nicholas' first exposure to playing was in ISCA (Inter-School Christ Ambassadors) when he was 13 years old. CF rallies, youth rallies and youth concerts then followed. Some major exposures were Rock the House in Singapore and lately in other youth camps, rallies and concert.

Music, he believes, is an expression of what's inside of you. If you have the devil in you, you sing songs that will destroy yourself ultimately but if you have Jesus inside you, you will sing with anointing and it will transform lives for the better. Music is an international language that is an awesome platform to reach out to all ages. But ultimately, letting himself be used by God to touch lives through music is what brings joy and satisfaction to him. Nicholas believes that music is a great platform to minister as well as start conversations. Everyone clicks when you talk about music and from then on, you go on to talk about the Creator of music...

His personal believe is that the Gospel should be made known and brought to where the people are. It should not only be confined in the church. That is why he believes in singing in places where many might be scared and sceptical to go. When light is present, darkness disappears...

Nicholas believes that music originated from God but Satan has taken it and perverted it. It is his conviction that it is time we as God's servants take back what the devil has stolen from us! His cry echoes that of Larry Norman, the author of the song, "Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music?"

The Christian music arena as a whole has been a major inspiration to Nicholas. Among those who have greatly influenced him are Delirious, DC Talk, Jive Express, Planet Shakers, Youth Alive Australia, Carman, Steven Curtis Chapman, Petra and White Cross. These musicians have, in one way or another, played a role in moulding Nicholas' music to be what it is today. Other bands like Creed and POD have also played a vital role in shaping Nicholas' music.

Nicholas Teh is a member of Grace Assembly, Klang and he serves as one of the leaders in their youth ministry called Youth Energy (YE).
