"Dream" is the perfect vehicle to launch the new Movement-STILL WATERS marriage, as well as usher in the next phase in Winans' career.

As a member of gospel music royalty, Bebe Winans' success is truly a family tradition. The seventh of 10 children, Bebe began his career as a background singer for his famous brothers (The Winans) before teaming with sister CeCe in 1987 for an amazing run of smash hits and platinum-selling albums. The duo's standout tracks include "Heaven," "Lost Without You," Addictive Love" and "I'll Take You There," among others. The four-time Grammy winner has also recorded with such entertainers as Stevie Wonder, Brain McKnight and Anita Baker.

Based in Nashville, The Movement Group is dedicated to presenting up-and-coming as well as seasoned gospel artists, along with providing a home for Winans' own projects. The marketing responsibilities for the partnership will be shared between the two labels.

STILL WATERS, which will also release acts not associated with the new partnership, fulfills McKeever's long-held goal of providing a home for music and inspirational thought that appeals to listeners' minds, hearts and spirits. The new label's mission is to present material that uplifts and motivates, transcending religious category and reaching across denominations. Its initial acts include singer/songwriter/musician Keite Young, and female vocalist Onitsha, among others.

Founded by music veteran Steve McKeever, Hidden Beach Recordings is an independent record label based in Santa Monica, CA. Along with introducing music sensation Jill Scott and saxophonist Mike Phillips, Hidden Beach is also home to vocalist Darius Rucker, husband and wife-led group Kindred the Family Soul, the Unwrapped album series, trombonist Jeff Bradshaw, songtress Lina, and singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Peter Black, among others.

Epic Records Group, a division of Sony Music, serves as Hidden Beach's worldwide distributor and marketing partner.
