Gregg Kofi Brown has been member of world class African pioneers OSIBISA for over 22 years and has travelled all over the world promoting the music of Ghana.
"Together as One" is Gregg Kofi Browns first solo album and features the likes of STING, STANLEY JORDAN, GABRIELLE, DES'REE & BILLY COBHAM. This album is a combination of the African & jazz music that have driven Gregg's career. With conscience-laden lyrics and funky afro-rhythms Gregg has a created multi-national musical platform with his guest artists that speaks to many peoples across the world.
Production is by NICOLOSI PRODUCTIONS (Milan,Italy) of NOVECENTO (no.1 US jazz charts) Executive Production by Gregg Kofi Brown.
In April 1997 Gregg was invited by David Sonenberg (producer of Academy award winner "When We Were Kings") to document & film Lauryn Hill's (the Fugees) fact-finding mission in East Africa. This documentary was made to highlight the problems of the refugees in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania and sponsored by Lauryn's charity the Refugee Project. Gregg & Lauryn performed together several times during this trip and was encouraged by her to make this album.
1998 saw Gregg Kofi Brown & Osibisa perform a special peace concert on hugely popular Asian Music TV programme Sarigama along side classical Asian stars Jagdit Singh, Farida Khan Banu, Golam Ali, & Runa Laila. In aid of peace between India & Pakistan this show was broadcast to over a half billion people around the world.
As an actor/singer Gregg Kofi Brown has appeared in several hit London Westend musicals including: Tommy, The Blues Brothers, The Buddy Holly Story and portrayed Jellyroll Morton at the Royal Court Theatre.
Since joining OSIBISA he has been invited to record and tour with many African and Caribbean artists such as Youssou Ndour (Senegal), George Lee (Ghana), Marta Ulaeto (Africa Rise album for Nigeria Independence anniversary), Abdel Kabir (Lye Ngum, Gambia), Ekome' (Ghana/Jamaica), Chaka Demus & Pliers (Jamaica) and Benjamin Zephania (Jamaica).
Gregg Kofi Brown is featured vocalist and songwriter on Billy Cobham's new Sony album "Drum N' Voice" and has written & performed on Stanley Jordan's new album ‘Dreams of Peace'. As a producer, musician and singer he has also worked with ISAAC HAYES, BOMB THE BASS and FINLEY QUAYE.
