John Rowe, who lives in Rochester and graduated from Dover-Eyota High School in 2014, transferred colleges from RCTC to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona to study Worship Arts this past year. Every year the Worship Arts Program at Grand Canyon University creates an album. This year one of John’s songs is featured on it.

The song is called "Scarred" and he wrote it with his friend Kaitlyn Price. John, who has been writing songs since he was a senior in high school, not only wrote the song, but sings on the track, as well. He also plays multiple instruments.

“I was in choir and band in high school. I was in band until 10th grade, and then started playing drums and picked up the guitar my junior year of high school,” John says. “Ever since then I've been playing guitar and piano/keys and drums. I’ve been writing songs since I was a senior in high school, but I definitely think my songwriting has improved since then."

The Canyon Worship album is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and Rhapsody.
