The Katinas are a group of five brothers born in American Samoa, located about 1,000 miles south of Hawaii. Their music reflects their faith in the Lord as well as their love for their mother, who died shortly after the Katina family moved to Washington State in 1988; the family moved again to Nashville following this tragic event. The Katinas began singing together while still children, and started performing at churches and fairs; as they grew, they concentrated on creating their musical message of love, faith, and family, writing many songs inspired by and dedicated to their mother. By 1995 they performed nationwide dates with R. Kelly, Jasmine Guy, DC Talk, and Amy Grant. The group's energetic, soulful style was captured on independent releases: 1991's Katina Boyz and We Believe, which led to a 1997 deal with Gotee Records. An EP, The Katinas, came out that year; a self-titled full-length album was released in 1999. So Good followed a year later; Destiny was issued in spring 2001. 卡蒂纳一家由五个兄弟组成，他们出生在夏威夷以南大约1000英里的美属萨摩亚。他们的音乐反映了他们对上帝的信仰以及对母亲的爱，母亲在卡蒂娜一家1988年搬到华盛顿州后不久去世；在这一悲惨事件之后，他们一家又搬到了纳什维尔。 卡蒂纳一家在孩童时期就开始一起唱歌，并开始在教堂和集市上表演；随着他们的成长，他们专注于创造爱、信仰和家庭的音乐信息，创作了许多受母亲启发并献给母亲的歌曲。到1995年，他们与R.
