About the Composer

Antonio J. Higgins is a composer and singer-songwriter studying music composition at Cedarville University. He strives to make Christ-centered music, or in other words, mesmerizing melodies and profound pieces for the praise of Christ. His compositional inspiration comes from composers such as Akira Senju, J. S. Bach, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Jennifer Higdon, Takashi Yoshimatsu, and Akira Miyagawa.

Studying music theory, counterpoint, and historically informed composition, Higgins aims to write beautiful pieces using compositional techniques from all eras. His compositional journey started as a child, writing small songs on his ukulele. He is also a poet and hymn-writer, and his poems have been published in the Virginia Writers Club Teen Nib and the Virginia Writers Club journal.

In addition to composition, Antonio is also a vocalist, singing in both the Cedarville University Concert Chorale and the CU Madrigal Choir.
