One of the most commercially successful contemporary gospel acts of the early 2000s, 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. The siblings 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 (who would eventually marry Erica) 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.
