Soothing fans with her smooth soulful voice keeps Vickie Winans busy and has done for the last 35 years. Her deep Christian faith has been the guiding light throughout Winans’ life and is best shared with others through her music. Winans began her musical career whilst married to Marvin Winan who at the time was serving as a charismatic pastor and a gospel singer in his own right. The pair, alongside other family members formed the musical band The Winans. Although the band gained a degree of moderate success, it was Vicki that stood out and clearly had the makings of a star. From 1994 to 2002, Winnans was contracted to the Intersound/CGI music group, enabling her to pursue her deepest passion of producing gospel music of the highest level and spreading the messages of the bible through her powerful musical capabilities and memorable performances. However, due to personal problems and a difficult divorce, Winans took a two-year hiatus in which her musical presence was sorely missed by fans all over the United States and beyond.
Bouncing back even better than before is a feat that not many can boast of achieving, however Winans did so with elegant ease. Launching her own independent record label, Destiny Joy, Winans reached new levels of dazzling success allowing her to pursue her music career without compromise or inauthenticity. Collaborating with a host of recognizable names including her son, the RnB star Mario, Winan has produced an array of hits that range from joyous gospel, to poignant ballads. Winans voice and spirit can never be accused of fading into the background.
