Ess B, a rising voice in contemporary R&B and Afro-Pop, is quickly becoming a name to watch. Born in Scarborough, Canada, the singer-songwriter spent much of his early childhood in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines after the passing of his mother, Samantha Browne, at just three years old. Raised by his grandparents, uncles, and aunts, those formative years left an imprint on his artistry and cultural expression. Ess B eventually returned to Toronto, where he has lived for the past two years, actively pursuing musical opportunities. His mother, a multi-talented entertainer known for her love of singing, dancing, cooking, and fashion design—and a first runner-up in the Ms. SVG Beauty Pageant—left a legacy that clearly inspires Ess B’s creative path today. In many ways, his pursuit of a music career is a continuation of her spirit.
His latest release, “Your Aura”, is a glowing testament to the transformative power of love, illustrating the joy found in spending quality time with someone special and the emotional bonds that grow stronger over time. The track offers a warm blend of soothing vocals and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, shaped by Nigerian producers Christian Nwokeleme, Jude Gankon, and Joseph Lekan. The accompanying music video is a global celebration of love, featuring real couples across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Canada, New York, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica—highlighting the song’s message that connection knows no borders.
Ess B brings more than just vibe; he brings depth. Describing himself as spontaneous, creative, fun, vibrant, and focused, his music is equal parts emotionally resonant and rhythmically captivating. Over the past seven years, he has honed his sound to reflect both his life experiences and his artistic growth. In early 2025, he reached a major milestone when he was invited to the Island Music Conference in Jamaica—founded by legends Dr. Orville “Shaggy” Burrell, Sharon Burke, and Judith Bodley—after the release of his single “We Outside”. The invitation earned him a spot in the Songwriter’s Workshop, where he was mentored by acclaimed creators like Michael “Mikie” Bennett, Stacy Barthe, and Gordon Chambers, who have written for icons including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Aretha Franklin.
During the workshop, Mikie Bennett praised Ess B as “a complete package,” citing his distinctive sound, natural charisma, and standout image. Bennett expressed confidence that Ess B is on the cusp of a breakthrough, needing just one hit to propel him into wider recognition. His songwriting skills, openness to feedback, and willingness to take creative risks only reinforced the belief that he’s ready for what comes next.
Ess B’s music is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, where his growing fan base is discovering the sincerity and polish of his work. Fans can also connect with him directly on Instagram, where he shares his journey, studio moments, and life updates.
Currently, Ess B is seeking management, label partnerships, collaborations, and touring opportunities—anything that will help him amplify his reach and take his career to the next level. He remains fully committed to his craft and is focused on turning his passion into something sustainable. Though the road can be challenging, his desire to create meaningful music and build a legacy is unwavering.
With “Your Aura,” Ess B offers a heartfelt reminder of the beauty found in love, vulnerability, and personal growth. And with each release, he continues to prove he’s more than ready for the spotlight.
