A soul singer who drew comparisons to such classic vocalists as Bill Withers and Bobby Womack, Anthony Hamilton struggled for the better part of the 1990s as two of his albums went unreleased. While he didn’t always get the label support his talent deserved, Hamilton established himself during the 2000s as one of the most raw, singular and relatable voices in R&B. He did so while racking up several Top Ten R&B albums and a handful of Grammy nominations. In 2014 Anthony Hamilton graced the stages in Australia with his soulful voice headlining Soul Fest held in all major cities.
