Ron Brown's musical career has taken him through many styles of music. His first big break came when he joined The Duke Ellington Orchestra under Mercer Ellington. From Ellington it was on to Natalie Cole, Diana Ross, Anita Baker, Whitney Houston, and more. In between these tours, there were countless sessions and television show performances with Stevie Wonder, Joe Sample, Aretha Franklin, and Al Jarreau.
After years of being a sideman, Ron embarked on a solo career. His debut CD, "From My Eyes Only" was produced by Grammy nominated guitarist Doc Powell, and released on Discovery Records in 1997. With a desire to take his career to the next level, Ron established his own record label, Mankind Records. With that, he produced the critically acclaimed CD, "Urban Dreams" by the Urban Jazz Network, which featured performances by Kirk Whalum, Jonathan Butler, Kenny Garrett, and Mulgrew Miller. This CD blended the sounds of Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, and Gospel.
