BIOGRAPHY
My Biography
My goals, experience, and aspirations
“In The Beginning”
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” and then in 1987 he created Calvin Brown, Jr. Calvin’s parent’s knew there was something different about him when at the age of 2, he could listen to music on the radio and emulate the beat he had heard with spoons, sticks, or whatever he could find to simulate a percussion sound. Approximately two years later, Calvin began playing the actual drums with no formal training. However, at age 8 he received some training from the music department at his school and began singing and rapping & singing to the music he was creating. Calvin has a natural gift and recognizes with conviction that his talent comes from GOD Almighty.
Calvin’s creativity with original music spawned poetry (to rap by) and song writing by age 5. After winning a double talent award at the 5th Annual Youth Talent Showcase in 1997, he received a one-year performing arts scholarship. Upon acceptance of his scholarship, Calvin attended the Millner School of Music located in Atlanta, Georgia and was featured as lead vocalist on a class produced CD. This production was a class project and naturally he received high honor, “A”!! With Calvin, “every round goes higher and higher…” as of September 1998, Calvin attended the Soap Stone Performing Arts School through February 1999.
Calvin is very articulate and has a very outgoing personality with noted talents as being a Singer/Producer/Songwriter/Musician. He has already plotted his course for success and plans a music career of gospel. In preparation for his first show, Calvin participated in a radio internship at WLOU/WLLV Radio in Louisville, Kentucky… The Program Director, James Ford and his staff trained him during the summer of 1998. Calvin also served as CO-Host of “The Mid Day Gospel Hour” with James Ford. In addition, he was also full-time Weather Announcer for the entire internship. WLOU/WLLV had offered Calvin a job for the summer as the full-time Youth Announcer. In addition, Calvin has appeared on the Bobby Jones BET Gospel Fest in 1999.
Calvin has received multiple awards for making the Honor Roll at his school. He has made the Honor Roll every year he has attended school to date. Calvin is also a straight “A” student and shows respect to everyone he knows including his parents. He is a very determined person that will never give up even if the devil places obstacles in his pathway of success.
Currently, at age 18 Calvin has graduated from Creekside High School in Fairburn, Ga. He uses his God given talents to spread the Lord’s word using the lyrics of his music. Calvin has strong ambitions of faith in the Lord and knows that one day God will make a way out of no way for him.
His one wish is to be given a chance to show his true talents that will result in him landing a career in the Music Industry. Calvin is ready to make his mark in the Gospel World!!!
