By definition the word gospel means, “The proclamation of the redemption preached by Jesus and the Apostles, which is the central content of Christian revelation. Something, such as an idea or principle, accepted as unquestionably true.” So when you hear of Gospel Music it refers to those who choose this form of expression to encourage others and spread the word of the bible. Gospel Music has it’s greats from Yolanda Adams, Kirk Franklin, Martha Munizzi, Hezekiah Walker, and many more. These outstanding artists have chosen music as a way of reaching out to the masses and spreading the word of the Bible and Christianity. These artists amongst others use their musical talents to encourage people to have a relationship with God and a better understanding. Following in the footsteps of these Gospel greats Thomas Patterson began his music career.

Growing up in Los Angeles, CA loving music, Thomas Patterson knew he wanted to have a career in this industry. In his teenage years he would rap and sing R&B and enjoyed performing and writing love songs. As he got older and started thinking about his future, having a family one day, and the role of God in his life he wanted to write Gospel music. This was not an easy step for Thomas. Deciding to take a break he participated in athletics (basketball and track) and music (choir and music classes) as extracurricular activities while completing college. With goals of growing a stronger and closer relationship to God, Thomas felt a calling to sing Gospel music. When asked what inspires you to move forward in this direction he replies, “My inspiration comes from my desire to be a better and truly a Christian person, being stronger, wiser and the enjoyment and motivation I have in fellowship with the spirit. The bible says we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the power of our testimony. So I make music as an expression of what God says on the inside of me.”

With musical influences such as Kirk Franklin and John P. Key this singer wants to be a part of making people feel encouraged; “I want them to know that God loves them and wants to have a relationship with them. I want them to feel a sense of liberty that they can grow and walk with the Lord. I want them to feel the fact that they can have a reality in God; and maybe not just feel it but begin it.”

When you first hear Thomas Patterson his voice is reminiscent of that old school gospel music with a twist. You are moved by the words and the music puts you in good spirits, which is exactly his purpose. Listening to how passionate he sounds in his music one can tell Thomas is sincere in his words and intentions beyond his vocal talents. This rising star is sure to take the Gospel Music scene by storm. Not only through his voice but his actions and convictions in believing and living by the words he sings.

CeCe Winans Bio Image

Priscilla Winans Love (born on October 8, 1964) and known professionally as CeCe Winans, is an American Gospel singer and winner of numerous Grammy Awards and Stellar Awards.

Early life

CeCe Winans was born in Detroit, Michigan to David and Delores (”Mom” and “Pop”) Winans. She’s the eighth of ten children, and the oldest of three girls.

BeBe & CeCe

Around time that Winans had been accepted to college, the television show “The PTL Club” (now known as “Praise the Lord”) took interest in her and her brother Benjamin (BeBe) as potential background vocalists for the show. They were accepted after going to North Carolina to audition. BeBe and CeCe moved to the PTL campus in North Carolina, and were on the show for about five years. It was during this time that CeCe met her husband, Alvin Love, Jr. who was also from Detroit. During their time on The PTL Club, BeBe & CeCe recorded Lord Lift Us Up on PTL’s label following popular demand on the show. The success yielded another effort, “Feels Like Heaven (With You)”. Eventually the success warranted another effort: a full length album.

BeBe and CeCe left PTL to pursue their singing career and recorded four more albums including Heaven, Different Lifestyles, First Christmas, and Relationships. In 1995, BeBe and CeCe split up to pursue solo careers and other interests. However CeCe Winans’ official website indicates that the two will release a reunion album in 2008. BeBe & CeCe performed their classic song “Hold Up The Light” with one of CeCe’s former background vocalists, Melinda Doolittle, on the 2007 American Idol finale. Winans co-hosted the 2008 Stellar Awards alongside Kirk Franklin and Byron Cage in January 2008.

Solo career

CeCe began her solo career with the Gold certified album Alone in His Presence. It was released in 1995 and earned her a Grammy Award and 2 Dove Awards including the Female Vocalist of the Year, an award she earned again in 1997. Winans’ next release, Everlasting Love was released in 1998. The song “On That Day” from the album was written and produced by R&B singer Lauryn Hill. Later that year, Winans released His Gift a holiday album.

In 1999, Winans started her own recording company, “PureSprings Gospel”. Her first album on the label was Alabaster Box in 1999. Some production of the disc was done by Gospel singer and musician, Fred Hammond. It included a guest appearance by Take 6. In 2000 Cece released a concert VHS titled Live At The Lambs Theater in New York. The concert contained songs from her previous albums. Winans released her next album, the self titled CeCe Winans, in 2001. The single “Anybody Wanna Pray” included a guest appearance by GRITS. The second single, “Say A Prayer” crossed over into the CCM market.

Winans took a two year break from releasing albums and returned in 2003 with Throne Room. The first 1,000 copies were issued with a bonus CD that contained exclusive interviews with the artist, the making of the CD, some touring footage, and the music video “More Than What I Wanted” (which came from the 2001 release). In 2004, the 25 city tour Throne Room featured free admission and was followed with a DVD release of the concert recorded in Tennessee near CeCe’s place of residence. Live In the Throne Room contained tracks from all of Winans’ albums. Around September 2004, Winans experienced what she thought was a flu but turned out to be a serious stomach infection and was hospitalized immediately for surgery. Due to the extended recovery time, the second half of the Throne Room Tour was postponed to early 2005.

Winans’ 7th album Purified was released in 2005. Producers on board for the project were longtime BeBe & CeCe collaborator Keith Thomas, and CeCe’s nephew Mario Winans. Winans’ son Alvin III also co-writes several songs on the album and younger sisters Angie and Debbie Winans make an appearance as well.

CeCe’s collection of Top Ten R&B radio hits include “Count on Me”, her duet with Whitney Houston, from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. The single was certified Gold in the U.S. and reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, #4 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #8 on the Billboard R&B Singles charts. She has also released her 8th Album Thy Kingdom Come on April 1st, to feature the single “Waging War.” The first single released from the album “Thy Will Be Done,” was released digitally on iTunes on April 1, 2008
