Marvin Lawrence Winans was born into a musical family. He has the gift to tell a story through singing beautiful music. The passion and the drive he used to become successful has inspired an entire country. Many are uplifted by Winans music including families, men, women, and children. Winans has affected people in his personal life, in his music career, and as a pastor.
Marvin began to sing at an early age with his family. Marvin fell into the family web of musicians, singers, and ministers. Marvin’s family helped him enhance his gift of singing and speaking. With his family by his side Winans confidence had grown, and he and his brothers began their music career.
The Winans brothers started a group called The Testimonials Singers. This group eventually changed their name to The Winans. They become one of the most popular gospel groups in history. Marvin continued to sing with this group through the years. He began to sing independent songs with many record labels, and he goes ahead to win many awards.
Winans sang with many different record labels including Light, Qwest/Warner Bros, Sparrow Records, and many others. While singing with these labels Winans won Stellar awards. Marvin had been a part of a least 14 different music projects since the 1970s. Winans had written songs for his solo projects and his family projects. Winans and his family started a church, but Marvin goes on to Pastor another church.
Marvin is the founder of the Perfecting Church. He used his church choir to record three different albums. One of the albums is nominated for a Grammy. The church is located in Detroit. Most important Marvin Winans music has had an effect on my life.
I personally enjoy Marvin Winans music, and his recent song with The Soul Singers has touched home. I think Winans will continue to make great music on in the future. His journey for the lord is just beginning. I think he will continue to be one of the greatest gospel artists of all time.
