Scott Wesley Brown

Scott Wesley Brown (born June 4, 1952, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American CCM singer and songwriter.

Brown recorded for Sparrow Records for much of his career, recording more than 20 albums; his songs have been covered by Petra, Pat Boone, Bruce Carroll, Sandi Patty, Amy Grant, and others. Brown has also worked with organizations such as Promise Keepers and Campus Crusade for Christ, and was a pastor in San Diego.[1]

He toured extensively internationally. Before recording songs and touring with dozens of artists, he met a young, unfamiliar artist, Steve Camp, fresh out of high school, who would also sing backup while playing acoustic guitar with Brown on "I'm Not Religious, I Love the Lord", just the year before going on his own, where he had a successful solo career. The two would tour together occasionally over the next thirty-five years.

Scott Wesley Brown has worked closely with the US. Center for World Mission, ACMC (Advancing Churches in Missions Commitment) and teaches many worship and mission seminars in addition to maintaining an active concert schedule. Scott presently lives and serves as a Worship Pastor in Scottsdale Arizona. He received his ordination from the Southern Baptist convention in 1998 yet has continued his seminary education through Covenant and Westminster Seminaries.

In the early part of this decade Brown teamed up with Billy Smiley of the popular Christian rock band Whiteheart to produce a series of albums of contemporary hymn arrangements. Hymns, The Old Made New was released in 2006 andSongs from the Valley is expected in late 2010.
