Anthony Brown Bio

Anthony Jamar Brown was born on October 22, 1981, in Baltimore, Maryland. His destiny was clear from birth, as his father is a musician and pastor, and his mother is a singer. It was to be expected that he became interested in music at the tender age of 3, and by elementary school, he had already begun to write and sing his own songs. He received his high school education at the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he studied classical music and other art forms.

He received his college education at Morgan State University, where he formed his first music group, Answered Prayers, in 2000. Brown, along with other members of the group, honed their talents by performing in various programs for which they gained some popularity in their local community. He also honed his songwriting skills, working with some of the biggest names in the music industry. Among his most important achievements is the former Billboard No. 1 hit “It Ain’t Over”, which he wrote for Maurette Brown-Clark and which officially catapulted him into the league of prolific songwriters.
