Musical artist |
Brothers was initially an aspiring rapper, but he put his dream aside when he and singer-songwriter Alicia Keys began a musical partnership in mid-1990s co-writing and co-producing together a majority number of songs for her first four albums.[1][4] Brothers and Keys co-owned a production company, KrucialKeys, based in New York,[1][2] and together they created, co-founded and co-owned a recording studio, The Oven Studios in Long Island, New York.[5]
In 2006, Brothers released his debut EP Take Da Hood Back.[6] Brothers has also worked with other R&B and hip hop artists including Mario,[7] Rakim, Angie Stone, Nas, Keyshia Cole,[7] Goapele, Drake and K'naan.
Brothers co-wrote songs that appeared on the soundtracks of the films Dr. Dolittle, Shaft, and Ali.[8][9][10]
He received two Grammy Awards from his collaborative work with Keys: Best R&B Album for Songs in A Minor and Best R&B Song for "No One".[11]
