Scott Wesley Brown has spent more than two decades sharing uplifting, faith-centered songs across the world as both a compelling singer and gifted lyricist. While serving as worship pastor in San Diego, he carried his message to more than forty-five nations and completed over twenty-one inspirational recordings. His compositions have been featured at Promise Keepers events, and his ministry collaborations have included Youth With a Mission, Operation Mobilization, Open Doors, and Campus Crusade for Christ. Brown has also donated hundreds of musical instruments to missionaries and local Christians throughout Third World countries. His material has been performed and recorded by artists including Petra, Pat Boone, the Imperials, Amy Grant, Sandi Patti, and Bruce Carroll.
His recordings themselves embody a life of service. In 1981 he contributed to Placido Domingo’s album Perhaps Love. Throughout most of the 1980s he maintained an active touring ministry, and in August 1989 he organized and led the U.S.S.R.’s first publicly promoted Christian music concert before more than fifteen thousand listeners. Later that year Sparrow issued his debut album The Language of Jesus, followed by numerous subsequent releases on the same label, among which Somebody’s Brother became especially well known. In 1995 Capitol Records assembled The Scott-Wesley Brown Collection, further illustrating his wide-ranging expressive range. Entering the new millennium, Brown sustained the creative momentum built across the preceding twenty years.
