Da'dra

A widely respected and veteran presence in the gospel and CCM arena, Da'dra Crawford Greathouse first rose to popularity in the early '90s alongside her brother <a href="spotify:artist:5J0qLEj2BEG1Vy9Qo58AQ5">Steve Crawford</a> as co-leaders of the group <a href="spotify:artist:6GrYT1CB2T0IxumY1MQpZJ">Anointed</a>. Emerging out of Columbus, Ohio while still in their teens, <a href="spotify:artist:6GrYT1CB2T0IxumY1MQpZJ">Anointed</a>'s rich vocals and uplifting R&B-influenced sound propelled them to mainstream success, several Grammy nominations, and numerous Dove Awards. <a href="spotify:artist:6GrYT1CB2T0IxumY1MQpZJ">Anointed</a> continued to record until 2005, releasing music for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Word%22">Word</a> and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sony+Records%22">Sony Records</a>. In 2006, Da'dra and her brother relocated from Nashville to Houston, Texas to join the worship staff at Lakewood Church. Over the next decade she and <a href="spotify:artist:5J0qLEj2BEG1Vy9Qo58AQ5">Steve</a> immersed themselves in the church and its music, leading worship with fellow singers <a href="spotify:artist:7pUnaNwiKa3p27L1EwB4X6">Israel Houghton</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:12uEM3Q5zL2edaX87DyqQn">Cindy Cruse-Ratcliff</a>. In 2012, <a href="spotify:artist:6GrYT1CB2T0IxumY1MQpZJ">Anointed</a> resumed their recording career, delivering a pair of singles. Although Da'dra's efforts as a singer and songwriter had long been celebrated as part of <a href="spotify:artist:6GrYT1CB2T0IxumY1MQpZJ">Anointed</a>, she finally made her debut as a solo artist with 2017's All of Me. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi
