Winsie-Ann, the third of four children, began competitive singing at age nine. She went on to win several school crowns in major competitions, at both primary and secondary levels. Her noted musical ability quickly propelled her into the public spotlight. She has made many special-guest appearances, at leading functions, on the invitation of the Trinidad and Tobago Government. In 2006 Winsie-Ann was also selected as part of a team to represent her country at the highly acclaimed Worldstars Championships in Hollywood. This experience opened a door to the prestigious Sony Recording Studios, where she completed her first CD.

The energetic songster has recorded three CD albums, two of which has been released. She is heavily in demand and is in virtually every major Gospel concert and other functions in her country and most of the Caribbean region. She has also performed in the US and Canada. Winsie-Ann was recently crowned the Best New Female Artiste of the Year, at the Caribbean Gospel Awards Ceremony, and shortly after copped the coveted Sugar and Energy Chutney/Soca Crown in Trinidad. She also hosts a popular daily "music and motivation" feature, entitled, "Winning with Winsie-Ann," which is aired on a leading national radio network, "Isaac 98.1 fm" and heard globally via the internet.

In 2006, Winsie-Ann teamed up with her elder sister Sherrose, who is highly respected as a worshipper and vocalist. They created immediate impact, particularly with their first joint CD You Deserve A Merry Christmas. The title track was done by Sherrose and the music easily dominated the Christmas Season in Trinidad and Tobago. The two sisters and their other siblings, who are often part of back-up teams of singers, dancers and props, have delivered notably effective ministry with their various performances, which are sometimes quite elaborate.

Winsie-Ann and Sherrose have shared the international stage with various renowned Gospel artistes, including Terry MacAlmon, Junior Tucker, Derrick Hadden, Kevin Bond and Pastor and Mrs Matthew Singh! The Cuffie sisters are also close friends of Donnie McClurkin. Quite recently, Winsie-Ann with her entire performing team, including her sisters, was given the honour of doing the highly esteemed Opening Act for her country's largest ever Gospel concert. It was the Yolanda Adams' Concert, held at the Queen's Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain on July 29, 2007. Winsie-Ann and Yolanda shared fun times of fellowship and the five-time Grammy Award winner was delighted by the spectacular opening performance, which included many features that were a first for Gospel Concert in Trinidad and Tobago, and various parts of the world.

In July 2007 Winsie-Ann and her sisters had a tour of New York which included the US Launch of the album We Salute You Jesus at Madison Square and singing at the Michael English concert at the Starlight Pavilion in New York. The trip also included ministry at youth rallies and several other events in Brooklyn, Bronx, Long Island and Queens.

Her latest single Most High has taken the airwaves by storm, producing immediate positive impact, locally and abroad, from the first day of its release. This single release includes three bonus tracks. The accompanying music video, which was shot on location at several top US sites, is the first high definition (HD) Gospel Music Video locally, and as in the region. Her latest accomplishment in August 2008 Winsie Ann Cuffie was nominated for a National Youth Award by the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs. All eyes will definitely be one Winsie-Ann as she keeps rising and motivating the youths of Trinidad and Tobago through her inspirational music.
