Biography
[edit]Brown was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[citation needed] He recorded for Sparrow Records for much of his career, releasing 25 albums; his songs have been covered by other Christian artists – including Petra, Pat Boone, Bruce Carroll, Sandi Patty, and Amy Grant – and by opera star Plácido Domingo. Brown has also worked with organizations such as Promise Keepers and Campus Crusade for Christ, and was a worship pastor in San Diego.[2]
Brown toured extensively internationally in over 50 countries. Before recording songs and touring with dozens of artists, he met Steve Camp, then an unknown artist fresh out of high school, who would join Scott under the artist management of Larry Norman, who mentored both of them.
Scott Wesley Brown has worked closely with the U.S. Center for World Mission and ACMC (Advancing Churches in Missions Commitment), and has taught many worship and mission seminars. He received his ordination from the Southern Baptist Convention in 1998 but continued his seminary education through Phoenix and Westminster seminaries.[citation needed]
Brown teamed up with Billy Smiley of the Christian rock band Whiteheart to produce a series of albums of contemporary hymn arrangements. Hymns, The Old Made New was released in 2006.
