OneAccord is a group of 6 talented singers who have a real genuine love for music, and even more so, a love for the Lord Jesus Christ. Although this group has only been known as OneAccord for 2 years now, their humble beginnings of singing together as a group started over a decade ago, singing in their native home in Trinidad and Tobago. The members of OneAccord are a group of cousins comprised of three sets of Sisters, Gloria and Candace, Johanna and Danielle, and Joyanna and Lori. Being in a group of family members is a blessing because “we have a special unity among us both in harmony and our friendships that many other groups may not share", as they often say.
Music has always played a large role in the lives of these singing cousins, all of which have
Parents, Uncles, Aunts and Siblings whom also collectively sing, play musical instruments, and have studio recorded albums. Like many great singers, OneAccord began singing in the church at a very early age. As these young prodigies took the stage on a Sunday morning, it was evident that God had continued to bless this gifted family yet again, and it would only be a matter of time before God would hone their talents into a ministry to be used for His honor and glory.
It was not until after moving to Toronto Canada in the late 1980's that Oneaccord was once again reunited as a family and as a group where it now seemed that things were unknowingly coming into place for their ministry to take flight and for God to move upon the scene. Not only are the members of the group accomplished musicians, as well as talented singers who each bring their own unique flare and vocal stylings to the group, but they are also all gifted songwriters who have been blessing their church family and others around the world with their original compositions for years. After ministering in song with their church choir in a concert in Alberta at the Winspear Convention Center to a crowd of over 2,500 attendees in 2003, the demand for a CD release was now greater than ever. The group connected with a local producer a few years later to begin recording their first studio recorded EP album, and after much prayer and supplication, OneAccord was born. On this project, OneAccord has once again lent their skilled song writing penmanship to write all but one song on this promotional project which will be released for commercial sale on April 10th 2010. The group is currently busy ministering in Central and Western Canada and is also in the studio working on writing, and recording their first debut CD under Oasis Music Group Ltd., tentatively slated for release in August 2010.
OneAccord's prayer is that God will continue to use the ministry to heal, deliver, and change lives. Their mandate is to bring God's people into an atmosphere of praise and worship where the spirit of the Lord can move and be glorified. As their theme scripture is Acts 2:1, "and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place..." we invite you to follow us online and join us in praise, worship, and celebration in one accord and watch God move!!!

Danielle Neale's Bio
What inspires you?
Forces of nature showing hands down that God is in control NOT man.
Your hobbies are?
Reading, playing bass guitar, doing sports that gets me dirty/sweaty, inventing twists on
different dishes, the list goes on!
One word that best describes you? And why.
Quirky. Lots of good and bad/odd in one word. I have a really weird, delayed sense of humour. I get the jokes late and people don't always get mine!

Seeing a bent or dirty pair of glasses just annoys me. I'm an Optician - I work with glasses and contact lenses.
Your hopes for this group are?
That when we open our mouths to sing, God's Word pours through to waiting hearts ...
And that God allows us to go as far as we can.
Your Influences? (Musically)
My parents. My dad has all the musical genius while my mom has all the enthusiasm! I get my gusto from her and my desire to excel muscially from my dad. Then again, all my family's musical. When everyone's together, you just get this urge to join in the noise be it instumentally or vocally!

Favorite bible verse? and why
Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Realizing that He (God) is the I Am, the present God is so important. The past is gone, the future is yet to be but the present is here and now. Knowing that He is walking with me "now" is strength enough for the journey. Everything I need is in Him and He's with me!
