Allan has been leading worship for around 8 years, leading at all different kinds of churches and events. His vision is to lead people to Jesus through music - to help create an environment where people can encounter the true and living God and experience His unconditional, unfailing, unchanging love. In march 1997 at the age of 15, Allan McKinlay was given an old beat up guitar by his dad. Allan had never even held a guitar before and wasn’t particularly musical either. However something in him decided to learn. Allan got a chord sheet from school and started to teach himself. In the same month Allan decided to give his heart to Jesus and become a Christian. Allan had joined a local Baptist church and within 3 months was asked to play for the worship as there was no musicians available in the church. After loads of help and mentoring from various people he became the church’s worship leader a couple of years later. Allan started to lead worship at many events all over south west Scotland mainly due to his involvement in a youth movement called Firestarters. This is where he met his wife Naomi whom he married in 2002. After living in Dumfries and Galloway for a year, they moved south to the west midlands at the end of 2003. While living in Stratford-upon-Avon, Allan attended the Nexus academy of music ministry in Coventry in 2004/2005. Towards the end of that year Allan decided to record some songs on home recording equipment and in Jan 2006 released a demo EP called Left or Right. The EP received great reviews including a 9/10 from Cross Rhythms After leading worship in Cornerstone churches and in various other places throughout the West Midlands, Allan landed a record deal from an independent label in Glasgow called Audio Invention. Over the summer of 2006 Allan was in the studio recording 12 new worship tracks and on 27th August released his first debut album - Show me Your ways. Following the release of the album, he has been touring around the west coast of Scotland and will be re-locating back there in October. Allan and Naomi have 2 children, Katelyn and Matthew.
