Anthony Hamilton

Anthony Hamilton is an icon within modern soul and R&B, blessed with a voice steeped in the raw emotion and tradition of the American South. Since his 2003 breakthrough album Comin' from Where I'm From, he has been renowned for his ability to translate profound stories of love, struggle, and spirituality into timeless music. His style bridges the classic gospel influences of his North Carolina youth with contemporary neo-soul, earning him a Grammy Award and numerous nominations. His career has taken him to the world’s most prestigious stages, where he has performed for global leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Presidents Obama and Biden. Beyond his musical success, Hamilton is a versatile talent; he appeared in the film American Gangster and contributed to the Django Unchained soundtrack. With the publication of his book Cornbread, Fish 'n Collard Greens and the launch of the Hamilton Cornerstore, he celebrates his deep Southern roots and passion for gastronomy. Hamilton continues to tour tirelessly, and on August 8, the living R&B icon will perform at Paradiso for the first time.Support: DJ Mad
