[edit] Career

Brown began singing in her local Gospel choir. After joining the contemporary R&B group Sweet Cinnamon a meeting with a New York-based label producer led to her first single, "Can't Play Around," released in 1993 which was a number thirteen hit on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. ^[1]

Kathy Brown scored number one success as the lead singer of Praxis, a musical project assembled by producers Cevin Fisher and David Shaw. Praxis's "Turn Me Out," first released in 1994, has been remixed and re-released several times since, with two US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart entries, including 1997's "Turn Me Out (Turn To Sugar)," which hit number one. "Turn Me Out" returned to the dance chart in 2003 with new remixes, this time climbing to #42. ^[2]Brown collaborated with David Morales on 1999's "Joy" which climbed to number four on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

In 2004 Brown was the lead vocalist on British act Soul Central's "Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own)" which was a top ten hit reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart. The single was also a major hit in Europe, reaching number twenty-eight on the Eurochart. ^[3] "Strings of Life" samples Rhythm Is Rhythm's 1989 House classic of the same name.

Brown's fire-brand vocals animate other cuts such as "Voodoo Magic" and "Time & Time Again" with the Major Boys. Brown's rendition of "You Give Good Love" reached the UK Dance Chart's top ten in August of 2002. In the spring 2006 she recorded "Get Another Love", released on Defected Records. The track went on to score in the Top 10 of the BBC Radio 1 Dance Chart.

In 2008 Brown and dance outfit White Knights released "Sound of the City." The single, written by Jason Gardiner and Nick Tcherniak about Soho, London, peaked at number six on the UK Upfront Club chart. ^[4]
