AboutCeCe Winans has received several gold and platinum records, awards, honors and chart-topping hits. In 1984, she began her career recording as a duo with her brother BeBe, first singing on the PTL Club daily TV program.
In 1995, BeBe and CeCe each decided to move into solo territory. CeCe's first venture Alone In His Presence captured yet another Grammy for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album. That same year, she and close friend Whitney Houston topped charts with the hit duet single and Grammy- nominated "Count On Me," produced by Kenneth Babyface Edmonds. Three more solo albums followed: the Christmas CD, His Gift; Everlasting Love; and 1999's award-winning Alabaster Box. Her accumulated award count for a decade-and-a-half of recording totals four Grammys, ten Doves, five Stellar Awards, three Image Awards, two Motor City Music Awards and one Soul Train Music award.
If all of these musical triumphs were not enough, CeCe has hosted her own variety series, CeCe's Place; penned an inspirational memoir entitled On A Positive Note for Simon & Schuster's Pocket Books division; and she has created a non-profit organization, Sharing The Vision, which not only serves the community, but also provides support to other non-profits. Currently, she is a spokesperson for K-Mart's "Share The Word" program, which encourages reading and awareness of Black history. In 2000, she was a featured performer at World Youth Day at The Vatican, where she had an audience with the pope. CeCe is also actively involved in the Initiative Teen organization, which focuses on teen suicide prevention. She is in the midst of screening material and artists for her personally owned and operated Wellspring Entertainment, with the hope of producing a touring musical play and signing a new artist by the beginning of 2002. Add to that, her responsibilities as a wife and mother, a committed relationship with her local church, plus ongoing appearances.
