Marvin
Winans Jr. Makes Solo CD Debut
 “Image
of a Man is really just an in depth look at what a man is and what a
man is supposed to be,” says Marvin Winans Jr. of his forthcoming
September 30th CD release, Image of a Man, on his own M2 Entertainment
label.“ I think people are searching for who they are and what
their purpose is in this life.”
The son of gospel stars Marvin Winans Sr. and Vickie Winans, Winans got
his start with the group Phase 2. Their first CD We Got Next debuted at
#1 on Billboard’s gospel charts in 1999 and sold over 300,000
units. He founded M2 Entertainment in 2000 and has produced a number of
artists, including his famous mom. Aside from his own production
skills, the fourteen-song Image of a Man CD features production by
Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Beyonce), Noel “Detail”
Fisher (Akon, Ray J) and rising star producer, David Garcia.
The first single is the Caribbean-styled lilt of “You Never Let
Me Down” that was produced by Rodney Jerkins. Perfect for summer
drives down the expressway with the rooftop down, Winans and Jerkins
have crafted a feel good anthem. "It’s the joy you feel when you
know that you have someone with you that will never fail you, never let
you fall, never let you down,” says Winans of the song. “I
thank God for being there for me, and I pray I can be there for others!"
A triple threat; Winans writes, sings and plays the keys. His musical
acumen is especially evident on the album’s heartfelt ballads
such as “A Single Rose” and “Mistakes” which
show his gift for creating memorable melodies and his smooth vocal
gifts. However, he’s equally adept at creating fun up-tempo songs
such as the infectious title song “Image of a Man” and the
techno groove “Believe” that was produced by Fred
Jerkins (Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys) and Lashawn Daniels
(Destiny’s Child, Bobby Valentino). It’s a thrilling
collection of songs guaranteed to bring Winans a wide audience. “
This CD is an opportunity for me to begin to express who I am,”
he says. Visit www.marvinjr.com, www.thisisMWj.com or
