Benjamin "BeBe" Winans

BeBe is a six-time Grammy Award winner and the seventh child of the Detroit-based first family of gospel music. A popular R&B vocalist, songwriter and producer, he is renowned as a breakthrough artist, bridging the language of his roots in the church with a chart-topping career. He is a music producer for OWN’s “Greenleaf” and hosts his own radio show on Sirius XM’s Heart & Soul channel. Film credits include Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep’s The Manchurian Candidate and stage credits include Broadway’s Don’t Get God Started, The Civil War and The Color Purple. Teaming with his younger sister Priscilla “CeCe,” the duo  first began crossing lines as “adopted children” of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker on the TV show “Praise the Lord.” Their first tour, on which Whitney Houston proclaimed herself their “sister” and sang background, set the tone for a very special career. BeBe and CeCe are the first true Christian crossover artists to hit the mainstream and the  first brother/sister to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Together they have nine gold and platinum recordings and in 1995 began to explore solo endeavors. BeBe’s seven solo albums feature guest appearances from Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, David Foster, Anita Baker, Whitney Houston and members of the Winans family. For an artist with his message and core based in the church, BeBe has faced an exciting and unique career. His honors include six Grammy awards, 10 Dove awards, 10 Stellar awards, four NAACP awards and three Soul Train Music awards.
