What do you do when your dad is one of the world's most recognized motivational speakers and you are working to inspire the next generation per his leadership? Well if you are John-Leslie Brown, the son of renowned top gun motivator Les Brown, you reinvent yourself as "H.I.G.H. H.O.P.E." and infuse poetry and rap into your inspirational mix! Brown aka H.I.G.H. H.O.P.E. has done just that and "Hope Moves Everybody Forward" is his debut single release on Bammin' Productions, Inc.
A truly innovative motivational performance artist, H.I.G.H. H.O.P.E.'s moniker is actually an acronym representing Hip Hop Intellectual Going Higher Helping OtherPeople Everywhere Soar. His single, "Hope Moves Everybody Forward" is a driving, poetic, rap-laced anthem that incites forward movement beyond just dance steps. Heavily influenced by his dad, H.I.G.H. H.O.P.E.S. flows with the same powerful command nurtured from his dad's legacy, fully incorporating self-reflection, positivity and direction into his lyrics. The single is produced by and performed with CEO of Bammin' Productions, Kennieth "BAM" Alexander, co-founder of the supergroup 1500 or Nothing and drummer and musical director for hip hop artist, Lupe Fiasco.
Under the tutelege of his famous dad, Les Brown, Brown began speaking at the age of ten, later becoming the highest paid teen speaker in America at age 14 and commanding audiences as large as 20,000. By the time he reached his early twenties, John-Leslie began sharing the stage and empowering global communities with pioneers in learning, business and entertainment such as Marva N Collins, the Dalai Lama, Della Reese Lett, Richard Branson, T.D. Jakes, Gladys Knight, Bob Proctor, Michael Collier, Ice Cube, KRS-ONE and Dr. Farrah Gray.
Now in his early thirties, John-Leslie Brown is still speaking internationally, captivating audiences with his concise but timeless message that "Hope Moves Us Forward." As H.I.G.H. H.O.P.E.S. however, his outreach digs deeper, tapping into the hip hop and youth culture. With over 300 original, self penned, transformational songs in his arsenal and his professional background of having given over 3000 inspirational speeches, Brown finds himself in a unique position to instigate mass positive change and empowerment.
