Brown was born in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 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. 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. 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. ==Discography==
