Bio

[b]Minister Jimmy Brown [/b]is a native of Kennett, Missouri. He has been singing since the age of 10, playing the piano at age 11. "Every since that time, I really loved playing Gospel Music. I wasn't playing like I really wanted to, but God has truly blessed me beyond measures." Minister Brown states he really didn't know too much about gospel music, "but I knew deep down this is what I wanted to do." "I asked the Lord a long time ago to anoint me to play at least one song, and that he did." In 1992, Minister Brown married a beautiful woman by the name of Angela Sharon Vincent-Brown. They relocated to Richmond, California, under the leadership of Pastor Charles M. Levias, Mt. Calvary Church of God In Christ, in Oakland, California. In 1995 Minister Brown lost his beautiful wife, "but the memories will still live on". "My wife left behind a jewel, our son, Lil Jimmy Esau Brown, who I love dearly with my whole heart. Before his wife's passing, they started a group called "Minister Jimmy Brown and The New Testament Singers", which was anointed by God. We shared the stage with some of the greatest Gospel Artists such as the Late Rev. James Moore, Walter Hawkins, Shirley Caesar, Emmitt Powell & Gospel Elites, just to name few. My mentor is Lawrence Matthews of Oakland, California. My female Mentor Vickie Winans has been an inspiration in my life. Minister Brown later moved to Detroit, Michigan, started doing solo. He was joined by a good friend, "whom I come to love and never forget, my brother in Christ, Bro. Derrick Milan's & Peter Rock Mass Choir". "I Love You All", appears on (Sound of Gospel). You all helped me so much. And, to make it short now I live in Baltimore, Maryland. I am the Minister of Music for my church, The Full Gospel Deliverance Church, Inc., Durrell Williams, Pastor/Founder, and The Full Gospel Deliverance Family, who has been beside me, through thick and thin. I must say I am glad to be a part of The Full Gospel Deliverance Church. I was discovered by Debra Martin, Owner/Founder of Borae' Records in Baltimore, Maryland, at a banquet. She loved my song, "Holy Spirit". I was accepted as Borae' Records A&R Director and as a Recording Artist. Debbie Martin sings, "Trust in the Lord" on my CD. She is a very anointed singer. I am also thankful for Gerald Nelson, my producer. Gerald also produced two other artists from Borae' Records, Anissa Stewart and Evangelist Peggy Carmichael, on my CD. I thank Mr. Gregory Brown, Sr., producer for "Trust in the Lord". And, my Executive Producer, Debra Martin. I also give recognition to my background singers on my CD: Mone't Horton, Michael Roberts, Michael Bailey and Darryl Culbert. And a special thank you to Pastor Durrell Williams, who gives the CD "Holy Spirit" its introduction. Thank you Phatbeat Studios and a Special Thank You to Jason at Nice Package Studios. God has blessed us all! My future is only the beginning of something that the Lord has set his approval and his anointing. This is my prayer that the Lord will continue to keep his hands on me, and to you that you may be blessed beyond measures. "Because In Everything, I still have a Praise!"
