About Barbie Bobo/His Child

Welcome! My name is Barbie Bobo and I am a singer/songwriter. I was born in Johnstown Pennsylvania and although I reside in Florida now with my husband and two Yorkie pups, I still miss the change of seasons! I have been writing and singing Inspirational music since 1990. My desire is that when you listen to the music you will feel blessed. We live in a very hectic world today and sometimes need to stop and just reflect on the precious gift of life. In fact, one of my songs is called "Gift From God." That is what YOU are! We are all God's children and need to be a light in this oh so dark world.

I have had melodies in my head since about the age of five. I actually thought everybody did! As I grew older, I realized that I might have a special gift, but never really acted on it. I went to college and became a nurse. I worked as a nurse for quite awhile. My job was very fullfilling to me, as I loved taking care of people. Nursing helped me to realize that when taking care of a person, you need to adress all their needs: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Sometimes spiritual needs were of the utmost importance to the patient and/or family. I went back to college and received a B.S. degree in Records Administration.

I was in between jobs and one day my husband started leaving me scripture verses to read for encouragement. The first day I read one, I really didn't read it. I sang it! It was from that point on that I started writing music for the Lord. The Psalms have inspired me in writing many of my songs; now I use what happens in my life as well as others lives in combination with the scriptures, to get across His message. All of my songs have stories behind them. I will be happy to share the story behind any song via e-mail. I also will send the words to my songs to those who want them.

As far as the arrangements to my songs, a few were done by Wei Leong, a local musician; most were done by my very good friend Rudy Sanchez, who also was the engineer and responsible for the final mix and mastering of several of the songs.

I have written over 200 songs and a Christmas Cantata that was performed once with live music and once with recorded music; both Cantata's were well received. I also have a Christmas CD that received airplay locally here in Florida. I can't tell you how exciting it was to hear "Christmas Love" on the radio for the first time! I have been so blessed, and want to pass the blessings on to you. I pray that everyone who reads this "bio" is touched by the Lord in one way or another. When I have performed live in concert, I usually tried to minister to all ages-you will hear a variety of songs on this CD-hopefully something for everyone. The CD has inspirational music that is very diversified; so whatever your spirit is wanting to listen to, you should find it-from soft contemporary christian music, to a little pop/rock as well a jazz theme. Enjoy the music-be blessed-and thank you for reading this "bio." Remember, my friend- you are His Child and He loves YOU.
