A Chicago native, Ms. Brown made her professional acting and singing debut at the Body Politic Theater. She studied music, theater and voice at Columbia College and has since taken her polished vocal style on the road. Ms. Brown describes what she does as "edutainment", using her gifts to not only entertain, but educate as well. Through her own business; The Legacy and Company and her family's company BrownHouse Edutianment, Brown provides quality edutainment. Since 1991, Ms. Brown has toured Chicago-area schools and nationally on the college circuit, performing her one-woman show: LEGACY: Our Wealth Of Music. "LEGACY" is a musical demonstration/lecture about the history and evolution of African American music. In 1997, Maggie helped the Chicago House Of Blues develop their Blues Schoolhouse student outreach program. In addition to performing, Ms. Brown runs an independent music label: Mag Pie Records. In 1996, Browns album “From My Window” was nominated by the Chicago Music Awards for Best Jazz CD. The following year she was nominated for Best Jazz Performer (1997). An appearance at the Schomberg Library Center in New York with her legendary father, Oscar Brown, Jr., led to a collaboration with acclaimed singer/songwriter: Abbey Lincoln on her album Wholly Earth which was released January 1999 on the Verve label. The Chicago Tribune declares Maggie is: "sublime" on her duets in which she "maintains her musical identity. . . pointing to her depth as an interpretive artist." Ms. Brown is well known in Chicago for her appearances at Millennium Park, Chicago Jazz Festival, Symphony Center and at colleges, schools, museums and libraries.
