Chynna Phillips in new Christian Duo

Chynna Phillips comes with a great musical pedigree. Besides her famous musical parents (The Mamas & the Papas), in the '90s she teamed with sisters Carnie & Wendy Wilson (daughters of Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson) to form Wilson Phillips. Their first album produced three #1 singles and sales of over 10 million.

Chynna briefly pursued a solo career and got married to Billy Baldwin, all the while searching for true fulfillment. She began to notice the changes in her brother-in-law Stephen Baldwin. When he told her that he had given his life to Christ, she laughed.
“I had a deluded image of what it meant to be a Christian,” she says. “I thought you had to be perfect, and it’s the exact opposite.” she shares.

Though first skeptical of the positive changes in Stephen and his wife Kennya, she began to inquire about their new relationship with Jesus Christ. She committed her life to Christ in 2003.

Now she's forming a new Christian duo Chynna & Vaughn, with Vaughn Penn and even presented at this year's Dove Awards.
