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.
