Award-winning singer Vickie Winans comes from a large family of impressive gospel singers. She began her career when she was a small child, performing with family. All grown up, she completed her debut solo album, Be Encouraged, in 1985. It was the first of a long line of recordings that would bring her a number of hits and music awards.

Born the seventh child of a still-growing family, Vickie Winans was raised in Detroit, MI. Her entire family was a musical one, and deeply religious as well. Vickie was only about eight years old when she began singing at the family church, astounding the audience with her vocal ability. Her love for "the Gospel" and music was the perfect combination.

She's shared success with the famous Winans family, for she married Marvin Winans and eventually joined forces with the gospel group. Vickie's first solo album carries a track that became her signature song, "We Shall Behold Him." The debut full-length offering also earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Contemporary Soul Gospel Album, a Stellar Award for Album of the Year, and an Excellence Award for Best Female Contemporary Artist. It was a foretelling of what was to come.

Through the latter half of the '80s into the next decade, Vickie recorded several award-winning albums. When not in the recording studio, she spends a lot of her time touring, performing more than 200 nights most years. She has also made numerous television appearances on shows like Oprah, the Grammy Awards, Arsenio Hall, Queen Latifah, and The Pat Sajak Show. She tops things off by staring in Broadway musicals like Don't Get God Started. Vickie's music can be deeply gospel, contemporary Christian, or any mixture in between. She also has a gift for touching the funny bone; skills showcased on albums like Share the Laughter. Some of the tracks fans can sample from her recordings include "We Shall Behold Him," "Daddy Can't Sing," "First Trumpet Sound," "The Diet Medley," "Boyfriends," "Its Yo Thang," "Give It One More Try," "Sweeter Than the Honeycomb," and "Little Timmy."
