Bio

Wayne Watson exudes the professionalism and ease of a seasoned performer, but has never ceased to emanate the energy and excitement of a newcomer. Perhaps the freshness comes from his approach to his music: “I perform and write as if it is the last time I will ever have the privilege.” There is no phoning it in with Wayne Watson. “Performing praise and worship music is a unique and holy responsibility. Not only do I have the opportunity to praise God, myself, but I am leading the audience or congregation toward that same openness and awe at the greatness of our God. “

If numbers are an indicator, Wayne is indeed connecting with the audiences he leads.

To date, Wayne has produced 23 #1 singles on Christian radio, including the most played song on Christian radio in 1991. Recently, Wayne was inducted into The Christian Music Hall of Fame.

Friend Of A Wounded Heart, When God’s People Pray, Almighty, Be In Her Eyes, Watercolour Ponies, More Of You, Another Time, Another Place, and Home Free are just a handful of recognizable titles that still resonate with old and new fans, alike.

His litany of career credits include a dozen Dove Awards wins

-including those for Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of The Year (Friend Of A Wounded Heart), Pop Contemporary Song of the Year and Contemporary Album of The Year with Watercolour Ponies, and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year with Home Free. He has twice been nominated for the Grammy Award-both for his performance of Watercolour Ponies, and for Best Pop Gospel Album with his stunning A Beautiful Place project. He shared a Grammy victory as a part of the team of other Christian artists for the “Tribute to Andre Crouch” project.

The momentum continued in the late 90s, when Wayne’s inspirational hit For Such A Time As This became a centerpiece theme of CBS-TV’s then highly rated series Touched By An Angel.

Fortunately for St. Martin’s and Wayne Watson fans around the world, Wayne seems to be just getting started…For Such A Time As This.
