"all I am Lord, every part"

Let's Talk!

What's going on! My name is Pepe Fructuoso.

I’m a husband, father, and worship leader based out of Los Angeles, California.

I’ve been in a relationship with praise & worship music my entire life,

and like any relationship, we’ve been through many seasons together.

I’m grateful that this season is one that not only deepens my own walk with the Lord,

but one that’s giving me opportunities to serve His church and

encourage others in their walks with Him.

It’s been such a gift.

So first, thank You God, for these opportunities.

And thank you for stopping by, I’m glad you’re here.

What I've Been Up To

The Works

“Pepe has the musical skills and spiritual depth to lead people into an encounter with the Divine. He’s not just playing music, he’s guiding people into deep reflection, prayer, praise, and joy. I loved ministering with him and I can’t wait to do so more in the future.”
— Maggie Craig,

National Catholic Speaker
“Pepe is one of my favorite musicians to work with when leading worship. From Mass to Adoration to just some spontaneous praise and worship, I can always trust him to keep prayer at the center and draw others into it with him.

He has a special ability to bring everyone from teens to adults to a place where fun and exciting praise lead to and from quiet and deep prayer. It’s never about Pepe, but always about meeting Jesus together.”
— Fr. Tim Grumbach, Chaplain at Bishop Alemany High School
“Pepe’s heart for the Lord is evident in the way he leads worship. He brings the whole room into his own prayer, encouraging authentic worship and creating an environment to encounter Jesus in a real way.

I highly recommend bringing Pepe to your event, he brings a depth to worship that I have seen the Lord use to transform the hearts of my own students.”
— Bailey Morley,

Director of Kairos at Notre Dame Academy Los Angeles
“Truly, Pepe is amazing - his sound, his spirit-filled heart for worship, his attentiveness to the music, and his positive way of building others up on a team. You can tell, he sings with joy to the Lord, and he helps others to do the same. Every time I’ve had the joy of serving and worshiping the Lord with Pepe, I’ve come away edified by the Holy Spirit.

In a season when I needed a friend, a brother, to bring me back to one of the most intimate ways I meet the Lord, Pepe helped me rediscover my voice and really bolstered me and challenged me in a good way to grow as a music minister. Thank God for his boldness and his yes.”

Testimonials

“I’ve had the privilege of worshiping alongside many great worship leaders, and I can honestly say that Pepe is one of the best I’ve worked with. While he’s an incredibly talented musician, what sets him apart is his genuine love for Jesus and his gift of leading others through prayerful worship. It never feels like a performance. He just creates space for people to encounter Christ. I’d fully recommend Pepe to any parish, ministry, or event looking for worship that is both beautiful and filled with the Holy Spirit!”
— Gian Gamboa,

National Catholic Speaker
“Pepe is a Spirit-filled man with great love for God and His people. He has a deep love for praise and worship and a gift for drawing others to join him in worship of Our Lord.

May Our Lord bless him abundantly as he embarks on this endeavor for the glory of God and the good of His people.”
— Fr. Pat Torres,

Archdiocese of Los Angeles
"Pepe is not only an excellent musician and a gifted singer and composer; he is also someone whose heart understands the true meaning of worship. He knows that worship is not a performance, but a ministry of prayer, humility, and service. I can sincerely attest to his character and dedication.

I have witnessed his openness to learning, and his willingness to be guided. Above all, I have seen in him a spirit of humility and a quiet strength that allows him to serve not for personal recognition, but for the Lord and for the spiritual good of the people he leads in worship."
— Deacon Felipe Averia, Archdiocese of Arlington
“Pepe is super easy to work with and extremely talented! He has a gift for leading groups in praise and worship and being attentive to the Holy Spirit in his ministry. I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any music ministry needs!”
