Behavioral scientists call this “optimism bias,” and

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. He loves off the mic too,
through tireless community outreach. The city of Baton Rouge proclaimed
October 21st as Anthony Hamilton Day and the North Carolina Music Hall of
Fame inductee notably performed for President Barack Obama and First
Lady Michelle, cementing his place in the history books as the “narrator of
love.” 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. Additionally, one for healing, he
became the "first R&B artist to sell an album at Cracker Barrel." Next up,
Hamilton will unveil his ninth full-length studio album in 2019.

Before Anthony Hamilton laid down the gospel as an R&B singer, the Charlotte, North Carolina native found
his calling as a member of the church choir. “It’s like that feeling you get hearing somebody else lead that
made me start to really pay attention to music, not just sonically but what it did to people,” says Hamilton, who
began singing at six or seven years old. An introvert raised with his brother and sister by a single mother (his
father left when he was nine years old), Hamilton found comfort in a foam-covered speaker while dreaming of
stardom. “I was a child who had a very wide imagination and I would become the song. I used to listen to
“Ben” by Michael Jackson a lot and I would dream like one day I’m gonna become a famous singer. I said that
over and over again for years and I always believed it.”

Over two decades worth of label changes later (past deals included Uptown, MCA, Atlantic Records, Soulife
Records, Andre Harrell’s Harrell Entertainment and Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def Recordings), Hamilton has
found his happy place on RCA Records. Following up 2011’s Grammy-nominated effort Back To Love and his
2014 Christmas offering Home For The Holidays, the R&B cantor maintains his Southern sensibility and
poignant songwriting on his fifth studio effort What I’m Feelin.’ Its lead single “Amen” — a melodic love note
produced by Salaam Remi and James Poyser, praises a special lady’s efforts. “’Amen’ is just celebrating the
beauty that a woman makes you feel, not just physical attributes, but the fact that she works, she goes to
church, prays for you, cooks, cleans, just all those things that a woman brings to the table,” Hamilton explains.

The 12-track offering is also an emotional cleanse for the musician, who announced his divorce from his wife
of nearly 10 years in 2015. “Anytime you spend that much time with someone, there’s a long connection that
you have and even though it seems like you’re moving on, you’re still tied to the person,” he says who
dedicates the reflective track “Walk In My Shoes” to his ex-wife. “I’m tellin my wife like you gotta be me, my
past and all the things that shape me, all my fears, and whatever it is I’ve been through that made me the
man that I was and hindered me from being the man that I wanted to be.” On other standouts like the melodic
“What I’m Feelin’,” Hamilton opens up about the struggles of letting go. “We get into these relationships and

56 TRIAD BLACK PAGES USA

sabotage them because of a fear of creating the unknown, the beautiful, the peace and a place where you
can let go,” he says. “Being able to totally let go is something I look forward to doing.”

Recording majority of the What I’m Feelin’ in Nashville, TN at the iconic Blackbird and House of Blues studios,
Hamilton reunited with longtime collaborator, Mark Batson, who produced some of his biggest hits including
2003 Platinum smash, “Charlene” along with his close engineer Bruce Irvine. The celebratory set showcases
life’s highs more than the lows. In addition, Hamilton recruited guitar heroes Vince Gill for the country-leaning
“Never Letting Go” and Grammy Award winner Gary Clark Jr. on the worldly “Ain’t No Shame.” On the latter,
Hamilton belts, “Time waits for no one/ Ain’t no shame in playing hard,” as a PSA to never settle. “There are
people that never experience anything outside their front porches,” he says. “Get off the front porch, walk in
the yard and I’m sure you’ll find something that’s beautiful.”

Hamilton is known for flipping heartbreak into a blessing as heard on his biggest ballad “Charlene.” After a
significant relationship had ended, he left his one-bedroom brownstone apartment in Harlem on 146th Street
and Convent Avenue and took the train to 33rd Street to meet with producer Batson at a Manhattan recording
studio. “My record deal [at the time], I was pretty much trying to get off. I remember I didn’t have a lot of
money. At that time, I was heartbroken,” he reflects. “I just poured my heart out and [“Charlene”] was one of
the songs that came out of it.” He notes that his soulful formula stays consistent with What I’m Feelin’, even
on a personal level. “I’m fully capable of taking from a broken place and truly turning it into something
amazing,” says Hamilton confidently. “I’m truly capable of loving in spite of my situation. I think I still have a
fear of letting go to a degree and I think there’s preparations I need to do to get there. I’m not done yet.”

Hamilton’s decorated catalog includes his 2003 debut, Comin’ From Where I’m From (which carried the hit
title track), 2005’s Ain’t Nobody Worryin’ among other efforts. He has earned several Grammy nominations,
like “Po’ Folks,” the 2002 Nappy Roots collaboration that earned a nod for best rap/sung collaboration, and
won his first trophy in 2009 for best traditional R&B vocal performance for his duet with Al Green on “You’ve
Got The Love I Need.” He has also lent his vocals to a variety of talent including Nas, Rick Ross, Carlos
Santana, Jill Scott, Tupac, and Al Green to name a few. His album What I’m Feelin’ released in 2016 received
Grammy nomination for the title song.
