Carried Away was a Canadian contemporary Christian musical group from Ontario, Canada. Signed to independent record label Glide Records until 2009, the group released three studio albums.

History

Pam Walker and Colleen Walker are sisters who, along with their cousin Christine Prankard, formed the group Carried Away in 2000. The women were inspired by the song "Carried Away" by Sonicflood, in which Jeff Deyo sang the chorus. They met producer Otto Price in Nashville who had co-written the song.Шаблон:Source? Price agreed to produce Carried Away's debut album in 2005, Closer to You, which included the eponymous song with Deyo. Price was also a producer for Christian rock girl band BarlowGirl throughout its career. The album had two number-one hit singles in Canada and also won two GMA Canada Covenant Awards that year.

The group subsequently produced its music independently, without further help from Price. I Want You, Carried Away's sophomore album, was released in 2007. It received three nominations for that year's GMA Canada Covenant Awards. Of these, the group won the Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year award for "I Want You". The album received a second subsequent nomination for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year in 2008, but it lost once again.

On June 20, 2008, Colleen Walker left Carried Away and was replaced by Tyler Seidenberg. The group went on to release the studio album No Compromise, and a Christmas EP I Saw Lights. Tyler Seidenberg left the band sometime in 2009.
