Born in 1953, Green's music was characterized by passionate vocals, piano-driven melodies, and lyrics that conveyed an uncompromising devotion to Christian evangelism and a call to radical faith.

  • Keith Green was a child prodigy who began playing the ukulele at three, guitar at five, and piano at seven, signing a five-year contract with Decca Records at age eleven.
  • Disillusioned with mainstream music and a spiritual search that included Eastern mysticism and drugs, Green converted to evangelical Christianity in his early twenties, completely dedicating his music to his faith.
  • In 1980, he revolutionized the Christian music industry by releasing his albums on a "pay-what-you-can" basis, often giving them away for free, as he believed the Gospel should not be sold.
  • Green and his wife, Melody, established Last Days Ministries in 1977, an organization dedicated to evangelism and providing housing for those in need, transforming their home into "The Greenhouse."
