Details:
From the beginning, Dallas native, LINK (born Lincoln C. Browder) knew that he had been anointed with the gift of song. A gifted drummer, keyboardist, singer, songwriter and producer, LINK developed his God given talents while singing in the choir and performing in church. As he grew physically he matured musically; performing throughout his elementary and high school careers, all the while honing his craft. LINK emulated such R&B and gospel greats as Donnie Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Peabo Bryson, Michael Jackson, The Commissioned and Aretha Franklin. In addition to LINKs legendary status as a local singing sensation, was the unrivaled attention he received for his burgeoning basketball abilities. A star in high school, LINK received a full athletic scholarship to play small forward for Southern Universitys basketball powerhouse in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. While attending college, LINK had an epiphany that led him to put basketball aside and focus his talents on his one true love, music.

LINK formed a group, Protg, with whom he sang and developed his songwriting skills. They signed with the UNTOUCHABLES, production company of music and media mogul, Eddie DJ Eddie F Ferrell (Heavy D and the Boys). After recording an entire album of original songs with Protg, LINKs songwriting talents became the focus of the labels attention and the group disbanded. LINK decided to devote his time on creating hit records for some of the music industrys most loved and established artists. The first ever commercial release that he wrote, My Body for LSG (Gerald LeVert, Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill) was an instant hit! Link followed that up with hits for R&B super group, SILK, Meeting in My Bedroom, Tonight, Lets Make Love and If You. LINK also penned smashes for R&B legend, Gerald LeVert, Thinking Bout It and lent his lyrical litany to hits for Next (When We Kiss), Tony Thompson (We Belong Together) and most recently, K-Ci and Jo-Jos award winning, Crazy.

Never fully over the idea of performing, LINK decided to return to his roots of singing and performing and signed with Relativity Records as a solo artist in 1997. He released the highly acclaimed, but subtly promoted, Sex Down, a concept album that focused on relationships from a male perspective. Fans will remember his two hit singles, Really Wanna Sex Your Body and Whatcha Gonna Do, which reached ..13 on Billboards R&B Charts. LINKs latest musical endeavor is "Creepin" on the newly formed Superstar Music Group, LLC which he co-owns with NBA Superstar, Michael Finley (San Antonio Spurs).
