The 64th Annual Grammy Awards took place on Sunday, April 3, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. There were some 86 awards in total including the Christian music genre categories. What we love about the Grammys, is that it gives our favorite Christian artists an even bigger platform to spread the hope of Christ.

Congratulations again, especially to Cece Winans who also won the International Artist of the Year at our first ever Step FWD Awards last November. The best-selling and most-awarded female gospel artist of all time, CeCe Winans has long since cemented her status as one of the most accomplished and celebrated women in modern music history. In the Gospel category, she now has a total of 15x GRAMMY wins with only songwriter-producer Kirk Franklin on more (16). This is all thanks to her 2021 Billboard chart-topping album, “Believe For It“.
