Background on Babbie Mason:
The name Babbie Mason is synonymous with creative excellence in the Christian community. An award-winning singer-songwriter of Christian music, her ministry and career have blessed countless thousands for almost three decades. The daughter of a Baptist pastor, Babbie learned to serve others early in life. Demonstrating exceptional musical skill early in life, she became the church’s full-time pianist and choir director by age nine.
Even though Babbie’s award-winning music is heard on radio and television worldwide and her works appear in the church hymnals, her feet are firmly planted. When Babbie is asked to talk about her life's accomplishments, she would find it difficult to boast that a host of Dove and Stellar nominations line her wall. In fact, she has reaped two Dove awards, one for Musical of the Year, MAKE US ONE, and another for Gospel Recorded Song of the Year, STOP BY THE CHURCH. She would not think to tell you that she has graced the platform with such dignitaries as Presidents Carter, Bush and Ford, performers such as Bill and Gloria Gaither and the inspiring Dr. Billy Graham. Instead she would tell you that God has given her these opportunities to live out her faith in all that she does. Her accomplishments include having such noted artists as CeCe Winans, Larnelle Harris, Helen Baylor and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir record her compositions. Ms Mason also wrote the award-winning classic, ALL RISE, one of the most recorded songs in Christian music. Babbie Mason, however, would prefer to talk about her commitment and love for God, her family and the church, and she will be doing just that at the Praise Breakfast on June 25.
