Fletch Wiley

Fletch Wiley is a multiple Grammy and Dove Award winning arranger, producer, and trumpet player. Starting in the 1970's as arranger for Andráe Crouch, Fletch has gone on to record multiple solo instrumental albums as well as recorded, written and arranged on numerous projects by other artists.

In 1974, Fletch Wiley received a Grammy Award for best arranger in the soul gospel category for "Take Me Back" by Andráe Crouch. He received Dove Awards in 1979 for Lullabies and Nursery Rhymes (children's category--producer/arranger) and again in 1991 and 1993 for Hide 'em in Your Heart, Vol. 1 & 2 (children's album featuring Steve Green--arranger). Fletch was also nominated for Grammy Awards in 1983 and 1985, and he was nominated for a Dove Award in 2001 for his instrumental project Redeemer. These are only a few of his many achievements.

Fletch received his Bachelor of Music degree from The University of North Texas and did a Post Graduate Fellowship at Yale University. He has also participated in the Aspen Music Festival and Stan Kenton Jazz Clinics.

Fletch shares that, "The depth of the musical experience never ceases to amaze me. Whether it is playing in Istanbul at a jazz cafe, or an outdoor festival in Norway, writing a film score, or producing a record or jingle, I am in awe of the creative powers that God has given us. Even though I have been doing this awhile (over 30 years), the stark terror and sheer joy of beginning a new work will keep your heart pounding. There is no greater gratification!"
