Gifted from Childhood
Born and brought up in a Christian family, Sunny Vishwas always had a great interest in music. He started singing at only seven years of age but due to financial constraints his parents could not afford to give him professional music training. So he prayed for God to teach him how to play the guitar and his prayer was answered. He learned how to play guitar in only seven days. At that time he promised God that he would play music only for HIS glory.
Fame and Glory
As time went by Sunny developed into a renowned musician and gradually associated himself with a famous secular band called Melody Makers. He played with various bands in and around Maharashtra, India. During his seventeen years of association with the secular band he performed live shows with many play back singers, music directors and film stars and also was awarded numerous trophies for solo performances. However during this season he neglected the promise he made to God.
Bollywood Sacrifice
He was offered a chance to launch his secular album through a music company called Orange Music in Mumbai. This was the chance of a lifetime, an opportunity to make a big career in the Bollywood music industry. But as the deal was about to be finalized, the love of God once again touched him and he felt Jesus calling him. God reminded him about the promise made in the past and from then on he was transformed. From that point on Sunny recommitted himself to utilize his gifts and talents only for the promotion of God’s Kingdom.
Blessing from Heartbreak
God used him to glorify His name in the same auditoriums where he first performed secular music. He worked as a music teacher in some of the prestigious schools in Pune. God started giving him heart-touching songs as he would pray and worship while working. One day he was asked to resign from his job. In his brokenness he prayed and cried out to God. As tears rolled down his cheeks and fell on the piano keys, God gave him one of his most anointed songs, “Prathan mai tujse karu.” This song became a blessing to many lives giving people hope in Jesus Christ and a reason to live.
Since that time, Sunny Vishwas has recorded numerous projects, both as a solo artist and as the featured worship leader.
