Biography
Anthony Hamilton was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. He discovered his big musical abilities when started singing in the local church choir, aged ten. In his youth years, Anthony used to perfect his skills actively performing at nightclubs and participating in numerous young talent shows. As time went by, he realized he had overdone the level of the local stage and had to move further. In 1993 Hamilton went to New York. The singer signed a contract with Uptown Records, a company specializing in hip-hop and soul. However, when the work on the first album was about to be finished, the company collapsed and the album was never released. After the end of Uptown, Hamilton moved to MCA and recorded a very proficient album, called XTC (1996). It received poor promotion and, dissatisfied with the label, Hamilton relocated to Los Angeles to cooperate with Soulife. There, he began writing songs for his own solo project and other performers.
In 2000 Hamilton was invited by D’Angelo to perform background vocals during his global Voodoo Tour. The concerts appeared a great event and left Anthony with many pleasant impressions. However, by the moment of his return, Soulife had bankrupted too. As if marked with bad luck, the artist sank into depression. He continued working hard and took part in projects of many other performers waiting for a new proposal. He demonstrated all his talent to a wide audience after singing the chorus in Po' Folks of Nappy Roots. The composition was nominated for Grammy and Hamilton was signed up with So So Def. At the beginning of Anthony’s career, the music he performed was referred to the alternative soul and was accepted reluctantly. But for the decade that Anthony had spent wandering from label to label, the public got used to this genre, which made the 2003 album Comin' From Where I'm From a very timely release. The lyrics about simple and important subjects were written in a comprehensive and beautiful language matching perfectly the music material of the record.
Hamilton and his team composed of specialist he had met during his vagabond years created a sweet sound bringing back to old good soul and supported with various instruments recorded in a modern way. This studio work became a sensation and appeared in a way a compensation for all those troubles that had been paving Hamilton’s path to fame. This inspired Anthony to maintain a highly productive activity without quality reduction. In 2005 the singer restored some of his old songs and united them into the collection called Soulife (2005) meeting acclaim and much attention. The same year, Hamilton recorded an album of new songs, Ain't Nobody Worryin'. 2007 saw the release of another high selling studio work by Hamilton, titled, Southern Comfort. By that moment, Anthony had become the leading performer of new wave soul. Remaining a hard working artist, he enlarged his discography with the new album The Point Of It All, released in 2008.

Soulife is the first compilation album by American singer Anthony Hamilton. It was released on June 20, 2005, by Atlantic and Rhino Records. His third album overall, the album is a collection of previously unreleased songs recorded by Hamilton. The song 'Love and War', which features Macy Gray, appeared on the soundtrack to the 2001 film Baby Boy.[5]
After leaving MCA Records, which released his debut album XTC in 1996, Hamilton found a home at Soulife Records, a small Los Angeles-based independent label, where he recorded tracks between 1999 and 2001 for what was supposed to be his second studio album. Soulife went bankrupt before it could release the material, leaving the album unreleased.[5][1]
Soulife debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200 and number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 53,000 copies in its first week.[6]
