A rare gift to have, Divine Brown’s five-octave vocal range makes everybody stand up and pay attention.  Her versatility as a performer both musically and vocally has found her manifesting success in the musical theatre world, television, as well as Top 40 radio.  Divine has starred in several musical plays such as Rent, Ain’t Miss Behavin’, Life, Death and the Blues, Passing Strange and Father Comes Home From The Wars.  She was also a “Jazzagal” for the last 2 seasons of Schitt’s Creek.  Placing three top 10 singles on CHR, AC and Hot AC radio in Canada (with her hit single “Sunglasses” reaching Top 15 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Charts in 2010), Divine also captured the heart of the public and her music garnered her a Certified Gold Album for her debut self-titled project (2005 – Universal Music), a Juno Award for R&B Album of the Year (The Love Chronicles) as well as a SOCAN #1 Award.  Divine is getting ready to release a new single entitled “Digital Love” this fall, and is excited about the next phase of her career.
