Charles C. Brown

Charles C. Brown, a singer, choir director, composer, vocal arranger, choreographer, coach, and minister, was born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, "where I learned early on that my behavior and value on Yale University campus (as a non-student local) was vastly different than in the hood where I lived, 2 miles outside." Thus, uniting people through the arts became an early passion.

With backgrounds in the Black Gospel Church and musical theater, Charles never rested safely inside any stereotype, instead always pushing to either upgrade the production value of a church service or form a gospel choir from the cast of the current Broadway show he was in.

His choir affiliations include: Dixwell Inspirational Voices (founder/director), Unity in the Community Choir (director), Joyful Noise (founder/ composer), Salt & Pepper Gospel Singers (founder/director), North Carolina School of the Arts Gospel Chorus (director), Yale University Gospel Chorus (director), Varick A.M.E. Church (asst. minister of music), Grace Baptist Church (soloist/minister of music), St. James Unity Holiness Church (choir director), Unity Church Chicago (soloist/asst. minister of music), Broadway Inspirational Voices (soloist).

Charles is currently the vocal director of all 4 campuses of ZION Church, a non-denominational Christian megachurch in the MD/DC/VA area.
