Born in Indonesia, Mohede immigrated to the US as a child following his parents' divorce. At the age of 10, Sidney found himself thrust into a completely different culture, struggling to adapt to his new life as an American kid growing up in southern California. After some rebellious years leading into high school, Mohede accepted Christ at the age of 17, changing his trajectory and launching onto a ministry path that would eventually lead him back to Indonesia.
Mohede has written over 200 songs and recorded numerous projects, including the English language album, 'The Rescue', which features a co-write and duet with longtime friend Darlene Zschech on the song 'It Is Done'.
Let me start by talking about this amazing song. Opening with some lovely orchestral sounds the song then kicks in with the brilliant vocals of Sidney who draws the listener in with his voice, but once Darlene's vocals jump in the song opens up even further. This song goes on a brilliant twisting journey making it fascinating to listen to.
Fans of Israel Houghton may also recognize Mohede, who penned the song 'Hosanna (Be Lifted Higher)' featured on Houghton's GRAMMY Award winning album 'Love God/Love People'. Mohede has also led worship and taught at Houghton's annual Deeper worship conference. I personally love the song Hosanna which has the brilliant Israel Houghton belting out the song like only Israel can. This song is truly brilliant.
As well as some great guest appearances, there are some really top quality songs that are well worth checking out. I love the energy in the song Amazing and the beauty of Jesus It Is You, the latter sounds like it could be off a theatre stage in the West End.
These songs are very dramatic, they are very theatrical sounding at times. It's hard to explain, but if I had to compare Sidney to someone it would have to be someone like Michael W Smith. There is a graceful and sophisticated energy to this album that you don't find on a lot of albums these days.
