Will Brown – Better Man

With nearly 2 million global streams Will Brown releases ‘Better Man’ the follow-up to ‘Phoenix Rise’.

‘Better Man’ tells a story of a man who has faced his insecurities, recognised his flaws, and done the internal work to change, but realises that sometimes self-help isn’t enough. In those moments, the presence of someone who truly sees and believes in him can make all the difference. This person lifts him when he’s down, helps him heal, and ultimately makes him a better version of himself.

The song beautifully intertwines vulnerability with the hope of becoming “better,” not just for oneself, but for the ones we love. It’s about moving beyond the mistakes of the past, represented by empty spaces in photographs and memories that feel distant, and looking forward to building new memories filled with purpose and connection.

In the spirit of Welcome to BrownsVille, this song is part of a larger journey toward emotional healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. BrownsVille is a musical sanctuary where soulful stories are told, igniting a passion for personal growth. “Better Man” fits perfectly into this world, offering listeners comfort and inspiration to embark on their journey of self-transformation. It’s a reminder that we all have the potential to rise, especially with the support of someone who believes in us.

Born and raised in Kansas, Will now resides in London. His music journey started in his family’s deep gospel roots, influenced by artists like Whitney Houston, Brandy, and Sam Smith. He began singing solos in church at the age of seven, showcasing his natural talent.

Will’s passion for music blossomed in middle school when he realised his dream of becoming a singer. He later took over the music department in his father’s church. At 21, he joined gospel singer DeWayne Woods (Grammy Nominated Gospel) as a background singer, a role he held for a decade, collaborating with renowned gospel artists.

Will’s church life profoundly influences his music, extending beyond gospel to a broader pop spectrum. His transition to pop music was a leap of faith, as he believed in his destiny to become a singer. This belief was affirmed when a chance encounter led him to perform with Jackson Browne in Santa Monica.

Will draws inspiration from 1950s and 1960s artists, admiring their meaningful lyrics. Vocally, he is influenced by Whitney Houston, Brandy, and Sam Smith, shaping his unique sound.
