Anthony Hamilton

Proclaimed a "national treasure" by the Los Angeles Times, GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, and actor Anthony Hamilton has achieved global sales of over 50+ million albums. The NC Music Hall of Fame inductee notably performed for Nelson Mandela, President Obama and First Lady Michelle, and most recently President Joe Biden cementing his place in the history books as the "narrator of love." Introduced by way of the iconic 2003 smash "Charlene," his raw, awe-inspiring performances garnered the attention of NPR, where he starred in their noteworthy documentary series. He appeared in American Gangster and lent his voice to "Freedom" from the Academy® Award-nominated Django Unchained. Hamilton sang the National Anthem at the 2019 NBA All-Star Game in his hometown of Charlotte and released his tenth full-length studio album, LOVE IS THE NEW BLACK, amid all the racial injustices of George Floyd and the COVID-19 global pandemic.
