Amazing Grace, for a father's memorial

Carolyn Furse reached out from across the Pacific with a deeply personal request: a recording of Amazing Grace she could include in the memorial video for her father's funeral — without the copyright worries that come with using existing recordings on YouTube.

“Knowing Joshua's incredible talent, I reached out from across the Pacific to ask if he would record Amazing Grace for my father's funeral.”— Carolyn Furse

What she was after

The brief was simple but meaningful: a heartfelt rendition of a beloved hymn that would carry emotional weight in a memorial setting, and that could be used freely in a private family video.

How we worked together

We talked through the tone and intent, and I built a rendition of the hymn made specifically for the occasion — shaping the arrangement and performance to honor the moment and the family it was for.

Timeline

Despite a full schedule, I made room for the request and delivered a finished, moving rendition in just two days.

“Joshua created a stunning rendition in just two days. His interpretation was unique and incredibly moving. It added so much meaning to the funeral service and brought comfort to our family during such a difficult time.”— Carolyn Furse

What was delivered

A complete, ready-to-use recording of Amazing Grace for the memorial video — an interpretation created just for this occasion.

“His professionalism and exceptional talent make it easy for me to recommend him without hesitation. If you're looking for an artist who pours genuine emotion into his work, Joshua is the man!”— Carolyn Furse
