Divine Brown
Biography
Divine Brown, formerly known as Divine Earth Essence, is a Canadian-born R&B singer whose expansive octave range and engaging soul sound has made her one of Canada's most prominent R&B artists in the new millennium. After performing in a handful of stage performances as a teenager, Brown decided to pursue recorded music when she was 18 years old. Unfortunately for her, her five-octave range was deemed "too sophisticated" by the executives whom she met, which led to a stall in her quest. Ultimately, Brown continued to perform in shows and festivals, and her talent became something that was no longer able to be ignored. In 2005, Brown signed with Universal Music Canada, and began crafting her eponymous debut. Brown's album, mostly self-penned, found mainstream success thanks to her first single, "Old School Love." Brown's throwback soul style was something of an underground favorite, since it was such a refreshing change from the bulk of overproduced pop music currently on the market. In 2006, Brown was nominated for two coveted Juno Awards, Canada's Grammys counterpart. Brown was nominated for "R&B/Soul Recording of the Year" for her self-titled album, as well as "New Artist of the Year.
