Brown wasn't as active in the next few years - he did write for Boyz II Men ('Believe Us') - but he shifted gears during the latter half of the 2010s. He established himself as a songwriter and background vocalist, and in 20 landed credits on releases by Keith Sweat (a handful of cuts on Just Me) and Ne-Yo ('She Got Her Own'). Uprooted by Hurricane Katrina, he moved to Tyler, Texas, but soon relocated to Atlanta to pursue music. After his mother left the cult, Brown immersed himself in classic R&B and eventually fell particularly hard for the likes of Stevie Wonder and Rick James. Raised in a cult that forbade secular music, he nonetheless discovered an innate knack for singing. Born David Debrandon Brown, Lucky Daye is originally from New Orleans. Before he signed a solo deal, Brown co-wrote songs for Keith Sweat, Ne-Yo, Ella Mai, and Mary J. Like contemporaries BJ the Chicago Kid and Daniel Caesar, he's a synthesist of traditional and progressive R&B modes, showcased on his major-label debut album, Painted (2019). Lucky Daye is the alias of David Brown, a Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter with a solid foundation in classic soul who is stylistically a little left of center, neither retro nor commercial.
