Shelia, Sarah, Tracy, & Josh, collectively known as "Atoned",
are no strangers to the Christian music world. Formed in 2005,
Atoned began their journey as a trio. Mother and daughter team
Shelia & Sarah Cornelius, joined by good friend Josh Akers, stepped
out on faith and began the ministry of Atoned.
During the next few years, the popular trio garnered much success.
Including
the release of their first self titled album, "Atoned", which
featured several
chart topping songs such as, "It Took A Lamb", and "There's Still a
Cross".
In late 2007, Atoned met a young man by the name of Tracy Baze.
After quickly
recognizing his amazing talent, and heart for the ministry, they
knew God had crossed
their paths for a reason.
During the same time, Josh Akers, had taken a full time job, and was
forced to leave the
road. Now with no baritone singer, Atoned contacted Tracy Baze.
Tracy immediately
stepped in to fill the lead and baritone position.
In March of 2008, Sarah and Tracy were married, and made Atoned a
"family" ministry.
Atoned recently released their new project, "Anxiously Waiting".
Their first radio single
from this new project, "I'll have to run", is receiving overwhelming
response, and has
debuted at #55 on the Singing News Chart for December 2009.
In September of 2009, original group member, Josh Akers, returned to
the Atoned family.
Josh who had spent the past two years lending his vocal talents to
The Hoskins Family,
and Living Waters Trio, as well as studio work, now joins Atoned
with his added lead
and baritone vocals.
Promoters and pastors all across the country are quickly recognizing
the talent of Atoned.
They have appeared on many major events in Gospel Music such as
Trinity Broadcasting Network
(TBN), Daystar Television Network, etc.
Atoned is excited for what God is doing in their ministry and they
are
"Anxiously Waiting" to see what God has in store for the future!
