Early life
editBrown was born in Iota, Louisiana[1] on April 29,[2] 1963,[3] as Clint Steven Brown.[4] Brown grew up in the United Pentecostal Church (UPCI) and from a very young age began to play the piano for Sunday services. After services in his home church would conclude, Brown would sneak across town to the local Church Of God In Christ congregation. “I’d be the only white boy in the building.” Brown has said on many occasions. His experience with the Black Church would play a vital role in his music. He learned how to play the trumpet while in his middle and high school band.[1] His father tried unsuccessfully to get him to work as a mechanic, instead he opted for a career in music.[1] Not long after his decision to pursue music ministry, Brown was hired by several different ministries as a music director, until 1985 when he was hired to travel full time with Televangelist Mike Murdock. However, Brown was never personally given an opportunity to sing on stage in any of Murdock’s meetings.
Music career
editHis music recording career commenced in 1998 with the album, Live from Orlando, released by Tribe Records.[5] He has released over twenty albums, primarily with Tribe Records, yet releasing one album each with Habakkuk Music, Judah Music, and Daywind Music. The first album to chart, One Nation Under Praise, was released on September 11, 2002,[5] and this placed at a peak of No. 4 on the Billboard magazine Christian Albums chart.[6] His second album to chart, Faith Like Rain, was released on February 26, 2008, by Tribe Records,[5] which this was his most charted release, and it placed on four Billboard magazine charts; on the Billboard 200 at No. 197, Christian Albums at No. 18, Gospel Albums at No. 7, and Independent Albums at No. 25.[6] The third album to chart, Release, was released on April 3, 2012, by Habakkuk Music,[5] and this placed at a peak of No. 30 on the Gospel Albums chart.[6]
