The Robertson Treatment – Mary, Mary

(Jul. 16, 2002) Offering praise from their hearts, delivered with passion and harmonious style, the two sisters who comprise the duo Mary, Mary are on a mission to spread the divine word of gospel. On their debut album, "Thankful" (which included the hit single, "Shackles" ) the sisters -- Tina and Erika Atkins exploded on the gospel and secular scene with their mix of tightly woven vocals, set against a backdrop of hip-hop and funk urban rhythms. With a platinum album, a Grammy and multiple Stellar Awards for their tightly woven vocals set against a backdrop of hip-hop and funky urban rhythms. "The reaction to our music has been more then we ever imagined," says sister Tina. "We've been blessed and we want to shared those blessings with everyone."

Los Angeles natives, Erica and Tina first began singing in their church choir, where their superlative vocals gained them an appearance on the "Bobby Jones Gospel Show." Soon both sisters were delivering background vocals for Kenny Lattimore, Brian McKnight and Eric Benet, before a chance encounter with super-hot producer Warryn Campbell landed them their record deal. "After hearing them just once, I knew that Tina and Erica had the talent to make it as artists" says Campbell, who recently married Erika. " With their vision, charisma and power, these two ladies can do everything."

With their new album "Incredible" just out, and a successful tour with gospel artists Shirley Caesar and Yolanda Adams in the can, the close knit sisters are well on their way to fulfilling their lifelong dreams. Says Erica, "We're doing what we love... what makes us very happy. God willing---we'll be able to continue on our mission to share the love and grace of God's world with the world."
