Personal life

Wayne Sanders was born and raised in Durban, South Africa. He started leading worship at his church, Westville Christian Fellowship,[2] at the age of 15 on the piano and the guitar. He went on to do a degree in Psychology and English at the University of Natal. During this degree and for a period afterwards, he was involved in setting up a multi-cultural, multi-racial gospel choir.[3] While involved in this, Sanders was travelling around South Africa working in musical theatre and playing and singing in bands.

He moved to the United Kingdom in 1996, where he met his wife, Lisa, in London. In 2003, Sanders moved to Cambridge to take up the role of Music Director at Cambridge Community Church. Since then he has released three albums, one of which was with Elevation Records. In 2008, he was approached to head a community gospel choir as part of the Hope 08 initiative.[4] This choir has performed at various events around Cambridge, including the "Big Weekend",[5] and has members from churches of different denominations in the area.

Recording career

In 2004, Sanders recorded his debut album, Giver Of Life, at West Wing Studios, Cambridge. This was released independently in early 2005. Elevation Music signed Sanders [6] to release his second album, Free To Fly, in 2007. His latest release was in 2009, an EP entitled There's A Light, which was again recorded at West Wing Studios in Cambridge. This was released under the artist name C3 (which stands for Cambridge Community Church).
