Sheree Brown: A Legacy of Soul, Jazz, and RnB
Sheree Brown isn't just an artist; she is an enduring cultural icon—a brand and multi-dimensional experience whose music and creative projects inspire, educate, and uplift audiences across generations, lifestyles, and cultures. A singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and educator, Sheree began her illustrious career as a rhythm and blues and pop recording artist with Capitol Records in the early 1980s. Her critically acclaimed albums, Straight Ahead and The Music, both re-released and digitally remastered, remain timeless testaments to her unparalleled ability to blend soul, jazz, and RnB with heartfelt storytelling and lush melodies.
"I would file Sheree's work alongside the likes of Bill Withers or Carole King. One day mainstream pundits will rise from the unconsciousness they seem to drift in and out of, and herald the likes of Sheree and her kind as being the bedrock which today’s music was laid out, planned and constructed upon." – Toby Walker, SoulWalking
Sheree's artistry transcends the recording studio. Her international performances have captivated audiences in Germany, Egypt, Israel, and Italy. As a pioneer in arts education, she co-wrote the inaugural House of Blues School House Tour program and hosted the weekly Gospel Brunch at the Hollywood House of Blues, making indelible contributions to the preservation and evolution of music and culture. Her creative excellence earned her an Emmy® Award nomination for a public service announcement promoting youth empowerment, anti-violence, and self-esteem.
As a prolific and award-winning songwriter, Sheree’s talents have been celebrated with gold and platinum record certifications. She co-wrote Kirk Franklin's chart-topping gospel hit "Looking for You" and has penned songs for iconic artists such as Patrice Rushen (Haven't You Heard, Settle For My Love) and Zhane (Groove Thang). Her vast discography, which includes over 100 songs, has also been featured in acclaimed works such as the film Hollywood Shuffle.
Sheree's influence extends far beyond music. Her commitment to social change and youth empowerment is exemplified through her co-authorship of the children’s book Zhakanaka The Word, part of a national peace campaign promoting self-esteem, literacy, and anti-bullying initiatives. The accompanying music CD, We’re All Only Children, reflects her dedication to fostering inclusivity and compassion. Expanding her visionary Messages series, Sheree released Messages From The Heart, a concept project that fuses literature and music. Her recent single, I Choose Love (co-written with Patrice Rushen), previews her highly anticipated project, Messages From The Spirit…The Collective, which continues her mission to inspire healing and transformation through music, art, and storytelling.
Sheree Brown’s legacy is one of artistic brilliance, cultural enrichment, and unwavering commitment to making the world a better place, one song, story, and project at a time.
