About

A spiritualized vocal group made up of members of the first family of Contemporary Gospel, the Winans perform polished songs of praise that showcase the close harmonies of blood relatives supported by synth-heavy, modern musical stylings. Much like brother and sister BeBe & CeCe, the Winans have enjoyed no small amount of crossover success and have worked with the likes of Michael McDonald and Anita Baker. Their smooth voices and jazzy take on urban music have been a source of inspiration to listeners and musicians alike, and they are often cited as an influence by groups working in the Gospel field today.
