Biography
Every so often a group comes along that’s in a class by themselves. Cross Anchored is such a group … one that every pastor and promoter should get to know. From the very first note through to the end of the very last song, our focus remains on worship. Though many artists glorify God, it is rare to find three gifted individuals in one group, each with a sincere heart for ministry and the talent and wisdom to go the distance.
Myron Waddell, Mark Wyatt, and Jay Pass bring a sense of excitement about what they do, a deep conviction of the Spirit’s anointing and God’s calling upon their lives. Their commitment to ministry and their desire to see people drawn closer to the Lord are the driving forces behind all that they do.
Cross Anchored remains steadfast in their conviction that God has ordained them – as individuals and as a group – to a music ministry. They stand apart in the way they seek to use their talent to glorify the Lord but above all, they stand apart in their sincerity and genuine desire to share the Good News with a hurting and needy world.

Todd Baker – Lead
A native of Dobson, NC, Todd began his singing career in 1996 with The King’s Heirs Quartet. After a four year journey with them, he left the group searching for what God would have him to do with his talent. “Through all of this I still felt like God had something greater for me to do”.
Todd’s hobbies include golf, playing basketball and spending time with his wife and kids. Todd resides in Moore, SC with his wife Vanessa.

Myron Waddell – Baritone
Born in the little town of Jonesville, NC, Myron began his music career playing percussion in elementary & high school. “Saved at the age of nine, there was never a question of where I should be spending my Sundays and Wednesdays. I never sang in high school or college, but after meeting my wife Sherry, I began singing in our home church. Myron joined Tarheel State Quartet in April 2002 as the baritone vocalist, singing with them until 2006 and forming Cross Anchored in 2007 as the original baritone vocalist.
Myron’s hobbies include computers and App State football. He resides in Elkin, NC with his wife Sherry.

Jay Pass – Tenor
Jay was born in Olney, Illinois and lived in Vincennes, Indiana until the age of 10 when his family moved to Gastonia, NC. Jay was saved at the age of 13 at the Wesleyan youth camp in Kernersville, NC. Although he started singing publicly in 10th grade (choir) he made his “BIG” debut at the age of 9 when he sang his first solo in church! Jay joined the Chapel Grove Quartet in 1997 while attending college.
Jay enjoys golf, Duke basketball and traveling in his spare time and makes his home in Statesville, NC with his wife Tara and children Carson, Tyler and Kylie.

Testimonials
“It is a true blessing to hear a group sing and be amazed at how good they are. That was the case when I first heard Cross Anchored. Since that first night, I have heard them on four occasions and they get better each time. More importantly, they are fine Christian gentlemen.”
– Grey Hager
Bethlehem United Methodist Church
“I have been a pastor for 21 years. During that time, I have had many singing groups come to the church. Cross Anchored is by far the group that my church loves. Not only do they have a rich southern gospel sound, but I truly believe that they all know who and what they are singing about. I highly recommend these guys for your church!”
