Horace Brown was born in North Carolina and is the son of a Baptist Minister. Despite singing in the church as a child, Brown never believed he would have a singing career and instead dreamed of one day being a professional basketball player. However, a knee injury ruined these plans.
Brown played a variety of instruments in his school's marching band and got a break when Devante Swing of Jodeci heard one of his demos. He then earned spots doing background vocals for Christopher Williams and did some writing and producing. He signed a recording contract with Uptown Records after president Andre Harrell heard him in a recording session.
In 1994, while on Uptown Records, Horace Brown spurred controversy when his single "Taste Your Love" was released. The single was an ode to oral sex. The single was a club hit on dance floors, however it failed to perform well on the charts and caused Brown's album to be shelved.
When Andre Harrell of Uptown moved to Motown Records, he brought Brown with him. Motown promoted the album by releasing two more singles and in 1996, released his self-titled debut album.
