Anthony Hamilton
Biography
Anthony Hamilton was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. He discovered his big musical abilities when started singing in the local church choir, aged ten. In his youth years, Anthony used to perfect his skills actively performing at nightclubs and participating in numerous young talent shows. As time went by, he realized he had overdone the level of the local stage and had to move further. In 1993 Hamilton went to New York. The singer signed a contract with Uptown Records, a company specializing in hip-hop and soul. However, when the work on the first album was about to be finished, the company collapsed and the album was never released. After the end of Uptown, Hamilton moved to MCA and recorded a very proficient album, called XTC (1996). It received poor promotion and, dissatisfied with the label, Hamilton relocated to Los Angeles to cooperate with Soulife. There, he began writing songs for his own solo project and other performers.
