PHIL C. BROWN
BIOGRAPHY
From the bustling streets of San Francisco to the towering peaks of Manhattan’s Lower Eastside and from the rolling hills of Texas to the frozen lakes of Minnesota, Phil Brown’s unmistakable trail of media accomplishments is documented. His zest for writing, entertainment marketing, and international public relations is the byproduct of early exposure to the performing arts and business. His recognition of the need for preserving good commentary, wholesome competition, and positive representation in the sprawling digital communication spectrum is well-known.
Since effective marketing and public relations/media outreach are crucial to the longevity of a business or an individual’s career, Brown’s priority is the public image and the ultimate commercial success of each client brand he chooses to represent, whether corporate, entertainment, athletic, or governmental.
Before developing an international presence, Brown worked in regional markets as a journalist (Dallas/Ft. Worth), reviewing concerts, books, movies, lectures, and conducting one-on-one interviews with the world’s best-known performers and authors. This experience proved invaluable to the kind of presentation that has made Brown’s ventures a success.
After graduating from Mission High School in San Francisco, Brown invested the next four years in New York where he attended the WBTS Training and Education Center (now in Patterson, NJ). There, he was a featured speaker on special assignments on the East Coast, taught a free public speaking class to inner-city residents in two New York City boroughs, and participated in a variety of non-paying but rewarding community-based family activities.
After fulfilling his initial four-year commitment, Brown lectured on popular topics, current events, and experimented with small-business startup ventures. This further sharpened his rhetorical and business skills and prepared him for undertakings that involved extensive contract writing.
In 2003, Brown partnered with New York-based True Life Entertainment/Navarre (presently under Universal Music Group) as Director of Public Relations, and in 2006, he was instrumental in signing singer Ben E. King and composer Peter Cor (Getaway for Earth, Wind, and Fire) to music recording deals.
Among other clients who requested Brown’s services are Little Anthony (formerly of The Imperials) Rock & Roll Hall-of-Fame inductees Jerry Martini of Sly & The Family Stone, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, Tito Jackson (Tito Time), and Jermaine Jackson. Other acts included The Lowrider Band (formerly of WAR), Jazz Crusaders, The Stone City Band, Original Lakeside, Charles Wright (Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band), and Kim Weston.
In 2007, Brown signed with Motor City Hits record label and Hits Talent Agency (Detroit-based organizations) to arrange concert tours and festivals and provide ongoing media relations. That same year, he coordinated Ben E. King’s television duet with Tony Orlando during the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. Mr. King also performed on The Late Show with David Letterman that year. In 2009, King made his final appearance on national television, performing with Sean Kingston on Good Morning America. Freda Payne also performed masterfully on the season’s top-rated American Idol television production (2009).
In 2010, PBPR broke Connecticut-based singer Arika Kane into the national television spotlight with her debut performance on The Monique Television Show. Arika’s song “Make It” is the theme song for VH1’s hit television reality show Hollywood Exes, produced by Jeff Dyson. Brown also served as media-relations specialist for On The Beam, a Dallas-based entertainment television show. In 2017, Brown provided PR to Russell Thompkins Jr. of The New Stylistics and singer/composer Trade Martin. In 2022, he agreed to a publicity deal with Little Anthony, formerly of The Imperials, with the release of his Anthology, a 40-track recording epic.
Brown believes that the collective arts are divine gifts and that we are all made better because of this blessing. His aim is to continue preserving great music, literature, and art.
SPEAKING REQUESTS —
For more than a decade, Phil Brown has shared with music students and thousands of enthusiasts on the complexities of the ever-changing entertainment and communication worlds. The pandemic has obviously impacted the quantity but not the quality of his operation, and it has necessitated remote or zoom methods in disseminating information. Students who desire a career in the competitive entertainment arena wonder about contracts, options, letters of intent, and performance rights organizations, how they are structured and what to look for in the fine print. Others aspire to the business side of the industry and are interested in careers behind the scene in journalism, marketing, radio promotions, media relations, artist management, concert promotions, and booking agents. In laymen’s terms: how product transitions from the recording studio and manufacturing to the local Best Buy, Target, or Internet retailer. All lectures include a syllabus outline and a question & answer segment.
Fees for public speaking requests to colleges and other institutions are assessed at the time of inquiry. Educational institutions may be given special consideration. Mr. Brown has written for entertainment magazines and major metropolitan dailies.
