Gospel music pioneer, Erica Campbell didn’t grow up wanting to be singer. Like many black kids in the church she was forced to join the choir at the young age of eleven. She recalls the time her friend’s mom prophesied over her and her voice and promised that her vocal skills would one day pay off.

The gospel industry got introduced to Erica Campbell when she and her sister, Tina Campbell, formed the group Mary Mary in 1998 following the release of their best-selling debut album, Thankful (2000), which contained the hit single “Shackles (Praise You)”.

Word got out pretty quickly about the talented duo and a baby biding war began. The group was offered several contracts from record labels including Bad Boy but eventually signed with Columbia Records.

Erica gives credit to God for allowing her dreams to come true all while reaching success with her sister.

“We did something called the come back with Jesus in an arena with 80,000 people. They were banging on the floor going “Mary, Mary!” and I was like you let my dream come true. I’m so grateful I was able to do all that with my sister!”
