Zie'l - achieving goals (German origin)
This group of young ladies have been touched from birth to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to every man, woman, boy and girl. Born and raised in the Bright Star Baptist Church, Shreveport, LA, these ladies have been singing together all their lives, sharing the vision of steadfastness in the gospel music industry and keeping God first in their lives. Knowing no weapons formed against them shall prosper, their youthfulness, faith in God, dedication to His Holy Word and exceptional sound makes them special. God's anointing power has placed Crystal Bell (soprano), Aphten Jones (soprano), Christina Bell (contralto), Undrea Northcutt (alto) and Keyondra Lockett (alto, contralto) together as "Zei'l."
 

During their early beginning, they participated in a local radio station's (KMJJ) talent show placing 3rd which was a very bold step in their ministry being the only gospel act in the line up.
