Guitarist / Singer / Songwriter / Author Winston Gay is truly in a class by himself.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Winston's creativity on the electric guitar soon attracted many local groups who were eager to utilize his ability to blend his unique interpretations with their own music. A protégé' of Kenny Gamble / Leon Huff's 'Sound of Philadelphia', Winston's charismatic performances with a local pop-jazz-fusion group called 'The Glass Menagerie', led him to tour or play behind many recording artists including: The Flamingo's 75, Maceo Parker, ( from the James Brown show) The Stylistics, Harold Melvin and The Blues Notes, The Original Soultrain Dancers, Dexter Wansel, Jean Carn, Bunny Siegler, The Tymes, Eddie Holman, Mc Fadden & Whitehead, Garnet Mims, The Delphonics, The Philly Intruders, and almost countless others.

From 1977 to 1986, Winston moved to Los Angeles California where he assisted the rehearsals of Bobby and Tommy De'Barge, ('Switch') Howard Hewitt, Jodie Watley, ('Shalamar'), Leon Sylvers, 'Wolfman' Jack ( The Midnight Special ) as well as composing and producing two television show themes ('Mario the Toymaker' and 'The Good Life'.)

He has co-written 'Count On Me' for the Ritchie family album 'I'll Do My Best', recorded in Kenny Rogers 'Lionshare' Studios, Motown's 'Hitwest' Studio, the late Marvin Gaye's Sunset Boulevard recording studio, and the famous Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia. In addition to his work in secular music, Winston has given his talents and fine-tuned the music for many Christian ministries from coast to coast.

Today, he is still one of the most sought after musicians on the scene, with a brand new sound. Winston's evolution into a one man band, author (The Monster Musician's Manual, The Monster Songwriter's Manual, The Monster Vocalist) and educator, is the culmination of 45 years of experience and the ongoing desire to reach a new generation of listeners with his orignal music.

Winston Gay has out done himself! His innovative approach to songwriting

is a fusion  of satirical  commentary  and grass - roots know how!

'My God Loves You' is a non - traditional  backstage approach to Contemporary Gopsel Music! Winston's original 'Gospop' is reminiscent  of that silky 'old school' 'Philadelphia Sound',  as his elastic voice rises and falls like a human elevator. A blessing for every listener.

'Hands On Inspirational Favorites' is Winston's rendition of classic Christian favorites that are peaceful and instrumentally beautiful.

'Hands On!' is an eclectic mix of instrumentals that totally consist of Winston's use of his Midi and Acoustic Guitars. His superb orchestrations and arrangments reveal his brilliant and poignant musicality, as he pushes the guitar synthesizer to its apex.
