| Big Brooklyn Red |
In 1997, when this native Brooklynite
moved to Miami and received his name
from Mandrill’s guitarist Tommy Trujillo,
the die was cast. He realized at that
point, by leaving his familiar NYC to
conquer new lands, he was stepping into
his destiny.
His resume prior to that point was
impressive. As a member of The
CityKids Foundation’s repertory
company, and later an alumnus, he was
able to hone his craft with performances
in high schools, prisons, as well as on
Broadway and TV with countless
celebrities. He performed his first
original composition with jazz legends
Herbie Hancock and Branford Marsalis
and then again with the late, great
Grover Washington Jr. at age 17.

original composition with jazz legends
Herbie Hancock and Branford Marsalis
and then again with the late, great
Grover Washington Jr. at age 17.
In 1994 he started his first band "eli & the bluesound project" and
continued sharpening his performance chops while stretching the
boundaries of music on the New York scene. After two years, the band
had run its course and Big Brooklyn Red went on to sign a
production/management deal. While that particular effort never bore
fruit, it gave him the opportunity to work with Ivan Hampden and
Paulette McWilliams. Ivan was Luther Vandross’ drummer and Paulette
was the linchpin of Luther’s inimitable background vocals. It was a
master class. “I was a bad motherfucker before that, but Paulette made
me razor sharp.”
Only six months after moving to Miami, Big Brooklyn Red became
known as the premier soul singer in South Florida. His trademark
freestyles made each performance one of a kind. Born from the
difficulty of getting musicians to rehearse, his live performances in
Miami were often complete improvisations. “That’s where the magic is
for me,” Brooklyn says. “To just open your mouth and listen to what
God might have me say. The better I sound, the better the song is, the
more humble it makes me.”
At the end of 2002, with the help of his grandmother, Big Brooklyn
Red bought a motor-home; packed up all his worldly possessions, his
then girlfriend and his dog Lulu and set out on a grassroots tour of the
U.S. He used this opportunity to promote the release of his first album
Foreword while also singing the National Anthem for NFL and NBA
games, as well as doing open mics and featured performances in cities
along the way. Each stop along the road brought him to venues where
he belonged, such as the stage of the world famous Black Lily in
Philadelphia. He met artists who were doing Soul music with the same
passion and work ethic he himself possessed. Heston in Atlanta, Fertile
Ground in Baltimore, W. Ellington Felton, Raheem De Vaughn and K’
Allyn in DC.
Big Brooklyn Red is a performance driven artist. Since 2000, he has
averaged over 50 shows per year. He continues to connect and build
with his fellow soul artists by doing gigs in NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, Philly,
New Orleans and D.C. Since the release of Foreword and subsequent
recordings, he has balanced the presentation of his recorded material
with showcasing his improvisational talent, and the freestyles are easily
the most anticipated part of his live show. He won’t repeat a phrase he
sang before and he never takes the easy way out.
In 2007 TruSoul Entertainment released Big Brooklyn Red’s mix tape,
Unrehearsed Vol.1. It features freestyle one-take recordings over
recognizable tracks. It is the application of Brooklyn’s organic process to
Hip-Hop.
His next album, Answer The Call will be available in stores and on-line
in June 2008. Meanwhile he continues to record and perform around the
world. He may currently be seen on MTV Italia in DJ Jad’s video for "By
My Side"

the music bug early due to an influence
from her father, a nightclub singer in the 40’s and 50’s. Upon

Years spent performing in the Caribbean, busking in Europe, or
jamming in a bar in Venezuela have all been synthesized into a musical
