Horace Brown Biography Horace Brown is a musical force with which to be reckoned. His soulful and sensual R&B vocals float effortlessly over Hip Hop beats. His smooth lyrical style tells stories about human emotions and character delivered with intent and swagger. He’s enjoyed commercial success with singles including “One for the Money”, “Taste Your Love” and “Things We Do For Love” featuring Jay Z. Due to explicit lyrics, “Taste Your Love” was banned in much of the South, specifically the Bible Belt regions. Horace has since spent the last twenty years enjoying a successful International touring career. Now he’s back in the States to release long awaited new music as well as his autobiography "The Life of an R&B Singer." The son of an Apostolic Minister, Horace was born in Hartford Connecticut and had an early exposure to Gospel music. But Horace has always had a love of all music that was cultivated under the tutelage of his older brother. His brother introduced him to all styles and genres of music from The Gap Band to Genesis, Bobby Caldwell, Level 42 and Stevie Wonder. While he hadn’t yet discovered his gift for singing, he did play the baritone sax and trombone in the high school marching band further developing the depth of his musicality. It was only after a critical knee injury that he began to focus on his singing. Initially, he was discovered by legendary r&b artist/producer DeVante Swing from the group Jodeci. As a result of working with DeVante on music for other artists, he was discovered by Uptown Record’s Founder and CEO, Andre Harrell, at the time when the label was home to artists such as Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Heavy D, Father MC, Christopher Williams. Horace released studio albums under the Uptown and later the Motown label imprints. He went on to write & produce for artists such as Christopher Williams, Jason Weaver, Terri & Monica, Donell Jones, Silk, and other international artists George Cole, Nadia Elias, DJ Kut Killer, and Alysia. His writing and production stand the test of time. Having worked with producers such as Puffy, Rodney Jerkins, “Eddie F” Ferrell, and Dave “Jam” Hall, Horace has developed his musical abilities working with the best in the business. He’s now ready for the stage to deliver soulful melodies and bop your head grooves that speak to today’s culture. Not to mention the ladies will appreciate his six-pack abs that rivals any artists’ today. He’ll be writing and producing for the forthcoming musical expressions alongside many of the big names in the industry today. Fans will be able to connect with him on this journey through Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Soundcloud, Google+, YouTube, Vevo, Linkedin, and the label’s website.
