Bio
A talented young Catholic composer from Barranquilla, Colombia, Johann Álvarez has been composing music for the last 20 years. His interest in music began at a young age and he was composing music by the time he was a teenager. He attended the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla where he studied communications and journalism.
For his writing, Johann draws inspiration from the Gospels and seeks to make an authentic connection between the Scriptures and daily life. His goal is to inspire believers everywhere to live in faith and hope and to encourage the faithful to put their talents to use—for the glory of God and his Church.
In April 2010, Johann's first album entitled Amor, Sal y Miel was released, followed shortly thereafter by En la Obra de Dios in September 2012. This second album contains the popular "Como el Sol en el Cielo," the winning theme song of the Lectio-nautas competition held by Cristonautas that resulted in a trip to World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid for the composer. His songs can be found in OCP’s contemporary collections ¡Vive Tu Fe! 50 cantos de Evangelización, Oración y Alabanza and Entre Tus Manos.
Currently Johann lives in Miami, Florida where he continues to work, preach and help develop programs for various groups and youth ministries.
