Episode # 49 - Getting to Know Detroit Born Singer/Songwriter J.Brown

Author: Todd Woodson February 13, 2021 Duration: 23:22
Join my conversation with J. Brown. We discuss his upbringing, moving from Detroit to California, his mother signing with Motown back in the day, his latest single 'Vibe' and much more. Figuratively set to the rhythmic pace of its infamous, steady-grinding automobile factories, while its streets are legendary and well-known the world over for the hyper-creative and musically fertile atmosphere that gave birth to Motown, Detroit continues to be a music capital of feel-good, contemporary music that ultimately proves timeless. The list of iconic names that have catapulted and captivated from the Motor City seems infinite...more than a few simply known by one name. Typifying the old saying "something in the water," singer/songwriter J. BROWN – though generationally removed from the Gordy company's then revolutionary melding of contemporary R&B and pop – has paid his dues and persevered in bringing those time proven musical values into the new music era with his recently released and, long-in-the-making solo debut EP. With music firmly in his blood and armed with tunnel-vision focus on following his passion of making music from the heart, J. BROWN delivers a dose of straight-up R&B – some with subtle pop and 90s throwback influences – to a music generation largely devoid of truly soulful and impassioned music.
