Deon Brown
ABOUT
Deon Brown is redefining what it means to be an artist in the 21st century. As a producer, singer/songwriter, and visionary, his work captures the magnetic pull of innovation and intimacy. Raised in church, hailing from Pasadena, CA, he fuses R&B, gospel, hip-hop, and house into a sound that transcends genre, delivering stories of blackness, queerness, survival, and freedom. From his debut opening for Rico Nasty in 2021 for his first album Home, to the release of his newest project, 22(2), Deon is proving himself to be one of the most daring voices of his generation.
22(2) is a 10-track opus that fuses gospel, hip-hop, house, and dancehall to explore themes of queerness, blackness, and transcendence. With live string arrangements and deeply emotive vocals, the album channels survival into power and pain into liberation. From the deeply spiritual and ethereal “Right Now, Right Here” and “Affirmation 1”, to the punk and southern rap fragments of “Hotlink”, there is an ambition—and audacity—in Brown’s work that feels undeniable, leaving audiences captivated and craving more.
