EEW Magazine Recovers 2008 Myles Munroe Interview Revealing His Musical Beginnings
Nyenta.com/10361243

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Nyenta -- Before Dr. Myles Munroe became an internationally recognized preacher, bestselling author and leadership teacher, he was a young musician playing piano for neighborhood children in Nassau, Bahamas.

That little-known chapter of his life is the focus of a new feature from EEW Magazine Online, built on an August 2008 interview conducted by the publication's founder, award-winning journalist Dianna Hobbs.

The interview, originally published as "Myles to Go," disappeared from EEW's website after its original platform was accidentally deleted. Its surviving first page was recovered through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and became the basis for the new feature, published Nov. 10, 2026, one day after the 12th anniversary of Munroe's death.

The feature, "'A Child Playing for Children': Myles Munroe on the Music That Came Before His Ministry," by Rebecca Johnson, revisits a conversation in which Munroe spoke candidly about his music, his creative talents and his childhood.

"Yes, I began in music. My speaking came afterward," Munroe told Hobbs.

He recalled growing up in a poor neighborhood of Nassau, where his mother, who raised 11 children, held Friday evening Bible gatherings for neighborhood children in an old wooden shop. With no money for music lessons and no one to play the shop's aging piano, she prayed that one of her children would play for them.

Munroe said he later discovered he could hear notes in his mind before he played them, and he began accompanying the children's singing.

"So I was a child playing for children," he said. "And the rest is history."

The interview also covers his early songwriting, his teenage Christian music group, his painting and sculpture, and "Brand New World," a song he wrote in 1970. In late 2024, Jamaican gospel artist Rondell Positive released his own recording of it.

Munroe and his wife, Ruth, died Nov. 9, 2014, when their private jet crashed while approaching Grand Bahama International Airport. Seven others were also killed.
