ABOUT EDDIE A ATKINS:
Eddie Atkins, Erica and Tina’s loving father was considered the strongest male member of the family and patriarch. As their father and a community leader & youth minister, Mr. Eddie laid the foundation for Erica & Tina’s broad reaching musical platform that allows them to deliver their brand of gospel music not just to the church but to the masses regardless of their walk of life & spiritual understanding. Mr. Eddie served as a stable & loving force in the lives of his children and grandchildren. He has been married and divorced from their mother, “Honey”, three times.
