Shades of Pink
BIOGRAPHY
LaTosha Brown is a remarkably talented singer/songwriter dedicated to creating music that inspires the world to love more and that motivates people to be more. Her moving and powerful voice is featured on the YouTube video of the traditional spiritual "I Know I've Been Changed." The impromptu video, which debuted on YouTube's Top 100 music chart at #78, received over 1.1 million views in two weeks, and it was featured on AOL's "You've Got..." series.
Ms. Brown is also the vocalist for the Bridge the Gap ensemble that was recently selected as a finalist for the American Music Abroad program sponsored by the U. S. State Department. The American Music Abroad selects American singers and musicians to perform as cultural ambassadors to more than 40 countries around the world.
Ms. Brown has been a performer and cultural artist her entire life. At the age of 18, LaTosha and her high school jazz band won a contest that landed her first major performance in front of more than 40K people as the opening act for the Beach Boys. For more than 15 years she performed throughout the south as a vocalist with a cover band called Uneek. During her career she has opened for acts such as Millie Jackson, Roger and Zapp, Bobby Blue Bland, Lenny Williams, Tony Terry and many others.
In 2011, after a seven year hiatus from music, she reignited her desire to write, produce and perform music that reminds people about the extraordinary power of storytelling through song. Her goal is to help heal broken hearts, restore hope, connect people across the globe and spread love around the world.
In addition to her musical gifts and talents, Ms. Brown is also an award-winning community organizer, philanthropist and love activist. She is received numerous national awards for her social and environmental activism. In 2011, she was invited to the White House where she was recognized as a White House Champion of Change.
She is currently working on her first solo project with multi-platinum Grammy nominated producer Khao Cates (Khao Music Group) and world renowned vocal coach/producer/songwriter Jan Smith, aka Mama J. Her first album, entitled Shades of Pink, is scheduled for release Fall of 2013.
“The arrangement is simple, featuring Brown on vocals, Myles Boisen on guitar, and Lawrence Sieberth on piano, but the sparse sound gives plenty of room for her killer voice. It was shot during a break from recording an album by S.F. regular Mark Growden, on which Brown is singing backup. According to Varshavsky, the song will be available on iTunes today or tomorrow.”
