Phil Driscoll<br />
Phil Driscoll grew up in a musical family, and was soon found to<br />
be gifted himself at playing the trumpet. He began taking<br />
lessons in school when he was a fifth grade student at Lancaster,<br />
near Dallas, Texas. His family moved to Tulsa in 1959, where<br />
he began to study trumpet both in classes at Bell Junior High<br />
School and as a private student of Roger Fenn (3rd trumpet<br />
with the Tulsa Philharmonic).<br />
His skill opened doors for performance throughout school, and<br />
by the 1970s he was touring and recording with major music<br />
acts including Stephen Stills, Leon Russell, Blood, Sweat &<br />
Tears, and Joe Cocker, as well as performing classical music with<br />
the London Philharmonic orchestra. Along with fame and fortune,<br />
Driscoll found himself increasingly involved with illegal<br />
drug use. In 1977 he became a Christian, gave up drug usage,<br />
and has since turned his musical talents to furthering the Christian<br />
faith.<br />
In 1981, Driscoll recorded his first album sharing his new-found<br />
Christian beliefs and has recorded 34 more CDs since. He has<br />
been affiliated with the ministry of Kenneth Copeland since the<br />
early 1980s, playing and singing at many KCM Believers’<br />
Conventions.
