Who is Courtney Brown?


Psalmist, composer, writer, counselor, and teacher only begin to describe the many gifts that Courtney effectively employs! She began traveling a path of singing, instrument playing, and song writing at the tender age of three when her parents bought her first organ. Under the influences of both her Mom and Dad, who are both musicians, she began playing the organ, mimicking the music that she heard her parents play at home and in church. By the age of 10, Courtney had in addition to the organ, learned to play the drums and keyboards and had begun accompanying her father during Sunday morning worship services. At the young age of twelve, Courtney copyrighted her first gospel song entitled All My Help.

Utilizing her gifts to glorify God and to serve others, Courtney has continued to write gospel music releasing "All Things" on the New Dimensions Record label with United Saints in 2004. Her debut solo project - "In the Process" - was recorded live in Baton Rouge on September 2, 2006. The single is available now and the full live project will be released soon.

When not ministering in song, Courtney spreads the gospel through literary and theatrical arts. She is the author of "Letters From A Concerned Friend" (Publish America: 2004); "BJ Goes to School" (Publish America :2008) -complete with illustrations by her mother Yolanda Brown; and she shares authorship of "Spirit and Truth: The Praise & Worship Experience" with Danielle K. Gardner (I-Proclaim: 2007). Courtney's list of accomplishments also includes playing the role of Mother Pearl in the first gospel movie musical stage play, "Aint No Sunshine When He's Home" written and directed by Clyde Jones, starring Cuba Gooding Sr., Todd Bridges and Sean Levert. For this production, Courtney also sang background vocals and assisted in the writing and arrangement of the musical renditions performed. Writing such plays as "It's Not Over" and "He's Not a Baby Anymore," Courtney looks forward to directing and producing stage plays in the future.
