Who Is Brown'Sugar?

Da'Shawn is a young aspiring Music Producer and Entrepreneur on her journey to inspire the world through her music. She was born and raised in NE, Washington D.C- Brookland area. Growing up as an only-child, Brown'Sugar was fond to independence which guided her into always finding new adventures to chase and explore on her own. She grew up surrounded by music as her grandad was a DJ in the city & her dad was a local rapper. He would always take her to the studio with him when she was 3. Loving sports so much, she never imagined that music would one day be her gift to the world. 

​

She created "Brown'Sugar Productions" the brand in 2013. The name came from her late Great-Aunt Gladys. She gave her that name when she was a baby. Brown'Sugar one day reacted to her aunt calling her that and decided to use that as her stage name. Her grandma bought her first keyboard when she was 6. She started teaching herself how to play the piano and making beats at the age of 13. Her dad then bought her her first equipment, a Maschine beat pad and a Korg M3 keyboard. Still till this day she has over 400 beats stored on her keyboard.

Brown'Sugar furthered her education in music by attending the great HBCU Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C. She received her bachelors degree in 2018 in Music, with a concentration in Music Business and Technology. Brown'Sugar is continuing to grow her business as she collabs wth varies artists in the dmv area and networks for brand awareness.
