Veronica Brown

Spreading the gospel with a very unique brand of “Evangelistic Soul,” Veronica Brown is no impostor. In fact, she’s the real deal. Fresh off the heels of her brand new single “I Feel Blessed,” Veronica is on a mission to remind listeners of how truly blessed they are. The soulful tune with its soothing but urgent groove effectively encourages and inspires. When asked how she came to record the song, Brown jokes, “At first I didn’t like it! I tend to like more up-tempo songs because I like to dance. But as I continued to listen and sit with it, the message really stuck with me and I fell in love with it.” After having personally experienced God changing impossible situations in her own life, Veronica uses her beautifully warm alto voice to pay that blessed assurance forward. A Detroit native, raised by her Minister/Musician father and singer mother - Veronica counts luminaries like Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross, Rance Allen, and Whitney Houston as musical influences that helped shape her dynamic vocal style. Brown has performed internationally as a musical ambassador for military staff and their families, veterans, and heads of state with the Department of Defense (DOD) and the United Service Organizations (USO). Her global fan-base allowed her to have several Billboard chart topping dance hits; however, gospel music was and still is her first love. Veronica is excited to return to gospel music officially with her current musical offering and so are her fans. Brown affirms, “Gospel is the original soul music! And it reaches the heart of man. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than to reach people with Jesus!” Prior to “I Feel Blessed,” Veronica released the gospel singles “I Don’t Wanna Be A Sinner” and “My God.” She continues to travel and sing around the globe as she readies the release of her upcoming full-length EP. ************************************************************ With a voice described by Billboard magazine as one that “exudes raw, soulful charisma”, Detroit born singer Veronica Brown released her debut UK single last April, which will also be available to download Worldwide. Describing herself as a non-denominational Christian, ‘I Don’t Wanna Be A Sinner’ is a great example of how she focuses her faith into her lyrics. A funky blend of hip-hop and pop, featuring rap by DJ John, the track is mastered by Grammy award winning Erick Labson, chief engineer at Universal Mastering Studios. The collaboration with Labson adds to an already impressive roll call of contributors Veronica has worked with – including Michael J. Powell (producer for eight time Grammy Award winner Anita Baker), Steve King (engineer for Eminem, 50 Cent, Aretha Franklin) and Paul Riser (string arranger for Motown records and more recently R Kelly). Alongside these successes, Veronica has also had her work remixed by the likes of Junior Vasquez, Stonebridge and Nick Nice. With all that experience behind her, ‘I Don’t Wanna Be a Sinner’ sees a slightly new direction for the vocalist, whose previous work has been more dance-pop oriented. This is the first step in a new, gospel influenced journey. Her previous dance tracks were highly successful however, reaching #1 in the MixMag dance charts, and #12 on the Billboard Dance in the US. They were also remixed by top acts Mousse T and Welcome. It’s just the latest development in a truly impressive career. In addition to her work with the vaunted names above, Veronica was awarded the Key to the City of Detroit after touring and performing for overseas US troops, and named Ambassador for the State of Michigan. She also helped launch Detroit Mayor Coleman Young’s career having performed in a campaign commercial for a track called ‘Power for Tomorrow’. Later, none other than the ‘Queen of Soul’ Aretha Franklin, requested Veronica to perform the song with her due to her exceptional pitch rather than anyone else – a huge honour and pleasure for Brown – a proud former resident of The Motor City and the latest artist to add to its musical legacy.
