Grammy-Award winning and widely-honored solo star Erica Campbell, one-half of the multiple Grammy-winning sister duo, the recording and WEtv stars Mary Mary, who, separately and together, are regarded among the most highly acclaimed and accomplished Gospel artists in the US, embarks on yet another career frontier when she arrives in the UK this coming November 12th, 2015.

At the request of gospel recording artist Annastasia Baker (of X Factor UK fame), Campbell will appear with Baker as a special guest, marking the first time the star appears before a UK audience as a solo artist. In addition to the show, Campbell is booked for an extensive round of media, including a performance and chat at this year's TED Youth Conference at Croydon, November 14th; the global event will provide Campbell with a unique platform to simultaneously address her fans globally, in a planned dialogue addressing the theme, Made In The Future. Also confirmed is a live BBC Radio performance and chat, November 15th. Campbell will perform songs from her #1 solo album, Help, which earned the singer a Best Gospel Album Grammy Award for her first ever solo release. Songs including the hit singles "I Luh God," "A Little More Jesus," and more, are planned for both performances.

"Super excited to be coming back and to be singing with Annastasia," Campbell noted, adding, "it's been far too long!"

The scheduled trip is part of Campbell's non-stop US promo activities currently underway, including upcoming appearances on BET's Bobby Jones' Gospel Special (November 15th), Centric's Soul Train Awards, November 29th, and more. Erica and her sister Tina appeared together on The Wendy Williams Show, October 15th, and will be heard this coming Thanksgiving Day as part of Kirk Franklin's Thanksgiving Day Takeover on Sirius XM's Praise. Erica recently co-hosted TBN's Dove Awards, where she performed and was subsequently honored with the Contemporary Gospel/Urban Song of the Year Dove Award for "I Luh God."

Also on the calendar, WEtv is currently shooting season 5 of Erica's original hit series, Mary Mary. Season launch will be announced shortly.
