Multi-Stellar Award winner Maurette Brown Clark is considered one of gospel music's sweethearts. Originally from Long Island, New York, Brown Clark began her singing career with her family group, The Brown Singers. Throughout her formative years, she continued singing with choirs and groups, as well as studying classical piano.
Brown Clark's first CD, How I Feel, was released in 1998. This CD featured the radio-friendly "Breaking of Day." For this recording, she received the 2000 Stellar Award for Best New Artist.
Her second CD, By His Grace, was released in 2002 and featured her popular rendition of the praise and worship anthem, "I Just Want to Praise You." This CD received a Gospel Music Workshop of America Gospel Excellence Award and two Stellar Award nominations. She was also nominated for a Dove Award for her participation in a remake of the Donnie McClurkin classic, "Stand," featuring Marvin Sapp, Daryl Coley and Helen Baylor.
Brown Clark's latest CD, titled The Dream, was released in March 2007, and features the praise and worship anthem, “One God.” This song spent over thirty-six weeks in the top ten on Radio & Records and Billboard Gospel Singles charts.
The Dream is Brown Clark’s very first live concert recording and it truly captures the essence of her heart for God. For this effort, she was awarded the 2008 Stellar Award for Praise and Worship CD of the Year. Her daughter Jada received the 2008 Stellar Award for Children's Performance of the Year for her song, "I Am What God Says I Am," also featured on The Dream.
Busy as a studio and production vocalist as well, she still happily maintains her status as a member of Richard Smallwood's choir, Vision.
Currently, Brown Clark is preparing her fourth solo project, recorded live in Norfolk, Virginia April in 2010. She is excited about this next phase in her music ministry.
This singer/songwriter/producer/musician/wife and mom knows that with God, nothing is impossible, and her life and music are a testimony to that fact.
