The girls say the band name and its meaning explains a lot about what they're all about and the kind of music they are producing. It's a mixture of both black & white music that reflects our influences while growing up and our mixed race heritage. Soulful vocals fused with acoustic rock flavours as well as folk and R&B flavours. Corinne Bailey Rae is probably the most current nearest marker to our sound.
Twin sisters Natasha & Loretta front Brownmusic. Natasha & Loretta are of mixed heritage, their father coming from St. Lucia (West Indies), and their mother from London (England). They grew up seeing, experiencing and listening to the music of both white and black cultures, and naturally the music they now create is a reflection of both worlds. "Brownmusic is a sound and an identity. It stems from who we are expressed through the mixture that is in our culture and our voices of black meeting white. It’s not full-on Urban and it’s not Folk or Rock but in fact it has an element of all of those genres. We write our own songs and they are powerful, true and expressive. We believe we’ve got a unique sound and something new to offer the industry. We hope to take things all the way so look out for us!"
