Albert Joseph Brown was born on June 4, 1968, in Mount Vernon, New York. He is a Grammy-nominated American singer known for his contributions to the new jack swing genre. In addition to his singing career, Brown is also a respected music producer.
Brown is the son of Cassandra, an accountant, and Albert Brown, a nuclear medical technician. His family's support and background provided a stable environment during his formative years in Mount Vernon.
He attended Mount Vernon High School, where he played as a quarterback on the school's football team. Brown was offered a football scholarship to the University of Iowa but chose to decline it in order to pursue his passion for music. This pivotal decision marked the beginning of his journey into the entertainment industry.
In 1987, Brown won the Sony Innovators Talent Search, an achievement that led to key collaborations. He worked closely with music legend Quincy Jones, notably contributing to the track "The Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite)" from Jones's Grammy-winning album Back on the Block.
Brown released his debut album In Effect Mode in 1988—not 1998 as previously stated. The album sold over two million copies and remained atop the Billboard R&B charts for several weeks. It featured the hit single "Nite and Day," which remains one of his best-known songs. His work earned him a Grammy nomination, as well as widespread acclaim.
Throughout his career, Brown has received multiple award nominations, including from the Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and Soul Train Music Awards. He won Best New Artist at both the Soul Train and American Music Awards, solidifying his status as a rising star during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In addition to releasing his own music, Brown played a role in nurturing emerging R&B talent. He is credited with supporting the early careers of artists such as Jodeci, Tevin Campbell, Faith Evans, Usher, Case, and Dave Hollister.
Brown's later work includes the 2009 album Honey, I'm Home, released under Hidden Beach Recordings, which featured mature content and reflected his growth as an artist.
In addition to music, Brown has ventured into acting. In 1991, he appeared in the film Private Times, co-starring with Martin Lawrence. He has also made guest appearances on several major television programs, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Late Night with David Letterman, Good Morning America, The Arsenio Hall Show, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Additionally, Brown hosted segments on MTV Jams, expanding his involvement in the entertainment industry.
He also served as an executive producer on an HBO comedy show that featured Jamie Foxx, adding another dimension to his contributions in the entertainment landscape.
Brown has never been married, though he has had several relationships. He is the father of three sons: Al B. Sure Jr., Devin, and Quincy Brown, the latter of whom is the son of the late model Kim Porter. All three sons are actively involved in the music and entertainment industries. Al B. Sure Jr. follows in his father's footsteps as a singer; Devin is a music producer and rapper based in Atlanta, Georgia; and Quincy is a multi-talented actor and recording artist.
He has a goddaughter, actress Paige Hurd. Brown has also been romantically linked, though unconfirmed, to singers Karyn White and Rolonda Watts. These associations, while part of public interest, were mostly speculative and not officially confirmed.
Brown maintains a moderate presence on social media, particularly Twitter, where he interacts occasionally with fans. His estimated net worth is approximately $4 million, reflecting his accomplishments and longevity in the music and entertainment industries.
