More about Anson Service

Every person who has been on a mission or is going on a mission will identify with the song "Dear Jane," turning the tables on Dear John letters. If fighting moral temptation hasn't been put to music, it has now with the upbeat, positive song, "Run Johnny," about a popular teen who runs away from temptation rather than staying to fight it. This is a band that can give you a beat that all ages can groove to, one second, then take you to the reverence of a slower blues style spiritual song, in remembrance of our Savior. With catchy lyrics and tunes that will stick in your mind, styles of music that even the parents will love, and melodies to drive the messages home, Anson is a sure hit.

Since the age of three, Anson loved to perform, starting as a tap dancer and singing solos through his younger years, with the local performance group. Anson, being the youngest of nine children, as you may expect, experienced life in a busy family, heavily integrated into music of all styles, and was on a very tight budget. In the evenings, his father taught piano lessons for extra money. At that time, Anson was able to have piano lessons for a few years, and at the age of five, Anson wrote his first song on the family piano while his father put the melody to music. Since then, Anson has expressed his passions and feelings through his music.

As a native of Portland Oregon, Anson played and sang his own original pieces, and other popular songs before tens of thousands of people at events such as The Portland Rose Festival, many school plays, various fairs, talent shows, firesides, and local community performances just to name a few. He won many awards, and although he was a teenager at the time, we was small and looked eight years old, compared to other teens his age, making him known in the community he lived, as the little kid with the big voice. He was also able to perform at EFY at BYU twice.

While serving a mission in Houston Texas, Elder Service represented Christ's church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and was able to use his talents to help with the missionary work by helping others to feel the Spirit by music. Many of his songs are directly about the atonement of Jesus Christ, and about the lessons we are learning during this earth life.

He now resides in Vancouver Washington, with his beautiful wife Angela and three children, who have been the inspiration for many of his songs. He is currently a Psychology major and will receive his Doctorate of Psychology in the year 2089 (OK, not really, but it will be a while). He unconditionally loves the youth and is fully dedicated to their success. He learned valuable lessons as a seminary teacher before going back to college, and has been a Sunday school teacher for the youth since his mission. He now travels to many Stakes and states doing firesides and youth conferences as a sought after youth speaker.

Anson hooked up with the other members of his band in 2003 and have formed the new group titled "Anson," ready to take the LDS music world by storm, with a fresh sound of music that is powerful, fun and meaningful and great to listen to. They perform concerts for special events such as youth conferences and concert nights wherever invited if possible. They have their self-titled debut CD out now, and may be playing in your area soon.
