小简介

Mary Mary 是由 Erica Atkins和 Tina Atkins两姐妹组成的, 生在加利福尼亚洲 Inglewood一个由7个兄弟姐妹组成的大家庭，她们的父母都是福音歌手，从孩时起便在教堂唱诗班演唱，在福音中长大。Mary Mary两姐妹最初在Bobby Jones福音演唱会上初试啼声，急剧天赋的两姐妹很快崭露头角。

1995年Erica和Tina成为 Michael Matthews福音演唱会的嘉宾歌手，从此她们从当地教堂的表演正式走上了大舞台。巡演中Mary Mary 的精彩表演产生了轰动效应。

1998年, 她们自己创作出的曲目 “I Can Dance” 收入了电影 “Dr. Doolittle” 原声大碟。同年，乐团与EMI百代唱片公司签下一纸合约，她们的歌曲 “Let Go, Let God” 收入了动画电影 “The Prince of Egypt” (埃及王子) 的原声唱片。

成功使两姐妹成为唱片公司竞相挖掘的对象，Columbia, Badboy, DreamWorks和MCA都对Mary Mary表示出极大的兴趣。最终在1999年5月，她们选择与Columbia唱片公司签约。“ 因为Columbia唱片公司是全球性的大公司。” Erica说：“他们可以把我们的音乐带到世界的每一个角落。” 2000年乐团发行了她们的首张专辑Thankful。

Mary Mary is the sisterly duo of Erica and Tina Atkins, who grew up in Inglewood, CA in a family that also comprised five other sisters and a brother. The girls' parents were gospel singers, and before long the children were singing in their local church choir, eventually turning up on the Bobby Jones Gospel show on BET. Erica and Tina Atkins joined the Michael Matthews traveling gospel show Mama I'm Sorry in 1995, followed by a second Matthews production, Sneaky. Each sister subsequently toured as a backup singer for a variety of R&B acts. Meanwhile, they wrote gospel material. A meeting with producer Warryn Campbell led to their signing a song publishing deal, and "Dance," a song that the sisters wrote and performed with Robin S., appeared on the soundtrack to Dr. Doolittle in 1998. Later that year, their "Let Go, Let God" was used on The Prince of Egypt Inspirational, one of three soundtrack albums for the film, and their songs were also recorded by 702 and Yolanda Adams. Mary Mary then signed to Columbia/C2 Records and released their debut single, "Shackles (Praise You)," a Top 10 R&B and Top 40 pop hit that was followed by the album Thankful in May 2000. Thankful was a huge success with Christian audiences, offering a younger, hipper version of gospel that audiences could relate to. Two years later, the duo released Incredible, an album whose material was largely written by the sisters themselves. Both Erica and Tina Atkins became mothers before their self-titled album appeared in 2005.
