Showing the Discogs bio

Pop, Soul, R&B and Jazz producer, guitarist, engineer, Sherman Oaks, CA-based.
Not to be confused with keyboardist Paul Brown AKA 'Brother Paul Brown'. The two often appear together.
Born July 8, 1956, in Tarzana, Los Angeles to Sue Allen, who sang with Mel Tormé, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and many others, Brown started playing drums at age five and picked up his first guitar two years later. During high school, he played in various bands and first began working as an assistant engineer in a studio when he was 15. After studying music and math at the University of Oregon, Brown returned to L.A. and began his rise to fame producing, composing, and engineering for a bevy of artists from across the R&B, pop, and contemporary jazz spectrum.
