About our Director
Lincoln Tatem is a Vancouver-based musical polymath. He grew up in the Toronto area, where he attended Unionville High School for the Performing Arts and played in his first bands and singing groups. In 1991, he moved to Regina, Saskatchewan and earned a degree in music composition.
In 1996, he moved to his current home of British Columbia, where he immediately found work as a session musician, composer, conductor, and church music director. After years of singing, playing, writing, and producing as an integral part of the sound of a number of the Vancouver area’s finest music makers, Lincoln finally went into the studio under his own name. The resulting recording, entitled “A Voice, and Hope, and a Drum” garnered multiple Gospel Music Award nominations and one Covenant Award win.
In addition to his activity as a band leader, sideman, and solo artist on the Vancouver music scene, and as a sought-after clinician and adjudicator, Tatem currently serves as Program Director of the Institute of Music Ministry in Surrey, BC, and continues to work in music with churches. He is also deeply devoted to his wife of thirteen years and his three children.
