In 1971, Manuel’s family made a commitment of faith to Christ at a little country church in Shepherd, Texas. It was the turning point in his life that helped shape his music.

He traveled with his brothers as The Manuel Family Band. Three of their singles reached the Singing News Top 40 and No.1 in the Christian Country and Country Gospel Charts. They sang original Inspirational Country music in churches across the country and several foreign countries.

In 1996, Mike Manuel moved to Nashville and began a solo career. He worked hard to focus on his music and got fifteen No.1 Christian Country Radio Singles and over 20 awards from various music organizations including the Country Gospel Music Association’s 1998 and 1999 National Entertainer of the Year, the 1998 National Songwriter of the Year and the 1999 Christian Country Music Association’s Male Vocalist of the Year.
