This is where his passion for music became his profession!

Brown was exposed to a variation of music such as Bell Biv Devoe, Jon. B, Mint Condition, Brian McKnight, Usher, Jay-Z, Jimi Hendrix, Nas and Sting which helped him during his creative process. After college, Brown signed with Universal Republic Records, and released ‘Imma Love You Right’ and ‘Sex On My Money ft. Gucci Mane.

Meet Cleveland’s ‘Material Girl’… Mariah!

Yes! You heard it right! Rising singer & songwriter MARIAH is that girl, and she’s on fire with her new banger, ‘Material Girl’…

"MATERIAL GIRL" was written by Mariah D. Hester and produced by Tony Nicholas. "Material Girl is written from the viewpoint of a woman at a crossroads. Should she remain in a relationship that caters to the material and superficial while neglecting what is truly important? In the process of finding herself again, she outlines what is missing: Loyalty. Time. Love. Patience. Teamwork. The things that money cannot buy," mentions Mariah. "I refused to let my voice be muffled by gifts or material things. Flowers, bags, and clothes can’t fill cracks and holes created by words and actions. Once I realized this, I found my strength. I found myself again," she adds.
