"We were just teenagers in a choir ten years ago," says Da’dra Crawford Greathouse, "but we really felt like God said, ‘Look, I want you guys to come together as a group and just watch what I’ll do.’ A lot has happened in those years, but now it feels like we’re just getting started on a whole new level. It’s like that was all warm-up and now we’re standing at the starting line and the race is about to begin."
For Da’dra, Steve Crawford, and Denise "Nee-C" Walls, that ten year "warm-up" included four albums, three Dove Awards, two Grammy nominations, one Stellar Award, and numerous chart-topping singles. Crisscrossing the country in the last three years, they’ve garnered spots on the "Big Voice Tour" as well as the "Christmas Celebration Tour," made the rounds of shows like the 700 Club and Cece’s Place, and participated in numerous crusades with Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, and Mario Marillo. In short, they ought to be tired by now. But from all indications, they’re just getting primed.
"Because we’ve grown up listening to and being influenced by various styles of music,’ Da’dra says, "it’s just what comes out naturally in our songs. What’s been surprising to us is that God has blessed us with a sound that is ‘trans-generational’. Teenagers will buy our music, and then their parents hear it and like it too. That’s been a pleasant discovery for us."
"Our purpose is to share with others the experiences of our lives as Christ changes us, helps us, and walks through daily challenges with us," says Steve. "We want to let people know that God is present and able to help them in every facet of their lives as well. That’s why we talk in our songs about our spouses, about relationships, about reconciliation when hearts have been damaged. We want people to begin to see how God is in the midst of every aspect and every moment of their lives. We want to offer the hope and encouragement that, even in a bad situation, God is at work and he can redeem it."
