Win Thompkins P.K.A. Uncle Win was born and raised in Southern Florida in a happy Christian home filled with laughter, music & songs. He is the third oldest of ten children. Like most in the industry and especially coming from a home such as his, it was only natural that “Win” and his siblings sang in the church choir. As the young men grew into talented teenagers, he and his brothers travelled and sang gospel music locally and nationally.
Win Thompkins was labeled “The Ambassador of Foot Stompin Gospel because of his Soulful, but yet original tenor voice that is golden to the ear. Just as sirens summons Sailors to the rocks! The “Ambassador” summons and embraces you with sweetness. It leaves you relaxed, uplifted and definitely moves you for more.
Win at the tender age of 14 met Country singing Star Zeke Clements and signed his first recording deal with Cross & Crown Records. Two years later he and his brothers recorded their first album titled “Keep On Pushing” on the Holt Sullivan, Nashville label.
