专辑简介

The Bateman Family is a family that acts effectively in ministry, ranging from song writers, preachers, teachers, musician, and producers. The vision came into existence when Frank Sr. and Gloria were united in marriage in the 70’s. Both had musical backgrounds, Frank Sr. being the bass player for a band, and Gloria singing and recording with a family of cousins. After their union, God blessed them with four beautiful children, Marlena, Latoya, Frank Jr. “Fjay”, and finally Alisha. When all the children were able to hold microphone with the youngest being four years of age, they started ministering in the local churches. From the local churches they went to stages, the cities, and then states. They recorded their freshman project in 1997 entitled, “A Word from Jesus” that opened many doors for them. In 2000, they released their sophomore project entitled “Give God the Glory”, which took them to countries via TV. In 2004 the family embarked on a history making event when they recorded their first audio and video live recording, entitled “The Bateman Family Live in Georgetown, SC”. Since then they have been sing for some of Gospel Musics world renouned artist such as: Dorinda Clark, Boby Jones, LaShun Pace, The Bolton Brothers, Keith Wonderboy Johnson, Dorothy Norwood, Smokie Norful, and many more. In 2006 they appeared on Dr. Bobby Jones New Artist retreat, which aired on The Word Network. As the family continued to walk in to destiny, “FJay” recorded his first solo project entitled “My Life. Alisha is currently in the studio working on her solo project entitled “God and Me”, and Fjay is getting ready to produce the family’s next project, so it’s not quite over yet!!
