Wayne Watson

Wayne Watson originally planned to pursue a career playing baseball, but while in college he began dabbling in music, and after graduation he regularly performed in area churches. While leading worship at a Christian youth camp, the father of one of the children videotaped Watson's performance and sent it to a record company.

Watson’s connection with his audience has to date produced a history of 23 No. 1 singles in Christian radio. His litany of career credits include a dozen Dove Awards wins, including those for Male Vocalist of the Year in 1989, Song of The Year in that same year ("Friend Of A Wounded Heart"), Pop Contemporary Song of the Year and Contemporary Album of The Year (1988) for Watercolour Ponies, and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year (1992) for "Home Free." He has twice been nominated for the Grammy Award—both for his performance of Watercolour Ponies (1987), and for Best Pop Gospel Album in 1992 for A Beautiful Place.

In the 1990s he gave a groundbreaking emotionally charged performance of "Another Place, Another Time" with fellow artist Sandi Patty on NBC-TV’s Tonight Show—an event that was deemed a defining moment in Christian music's move to wider audiences. In the late 90s, his inspirational hit "For Such A Time As This" became a centerpiece theme of the CBS-TV series "Touched By An Angel".

After several years of dedicating his gifts to his role as musical director for a major church in Houston, Wayne is now re-focusing towards a full time re-commitment to his career as an artist and songwriter.
