The once praise and worship leader turned CCM artist relies heavily on a combination of pop and adult contemporary stylings to communicate his gospel-based message.

Growing up on a dairy farm in the Canadian providence of Nova Scotia, Brouwer is the sixth of seven children. It was not until high school that he became interested in pursuing a musical career, going on to study music at Prairie Bible College in Alberta, Canada. While in college, Brouwer and fellow music majors began a worship night called MNW (Monday Night Worship). The weekly service soon grew from 20 people a week to hundreds of participants and Brouwer along with fellow MNW band members received performance requests from colleges and church worship services across Canada. It was not long before the group was contacted by Christian record labels and later that year Brouwer signed a solo deal.

Brouwer has released 4 studio albums to date, scoring several top 10 and top 20 singles on the Billboard Christian Music chart in the US as well as numerous top ten singles on the Canadian CANCON chart for CCM stations. The 2009 album, "Where's Our Revolution", was produced by music legend Michael Omartian, and featured guest musicians like Vince Gill and Amy Grant. The album was awarded a Canadian JUNO award for Best Contemporary Christian/Gospel album of the year. Brouwer followed up this success with the album "Till The Sunrise" in 2012. ~ Ashleigh Kittle
