Iconic House Music Vocalist Kathy Brown Diagnosed With Stage 4 Cancer – Gofundme Appeal And Fundraising Single From Toolroom

Late last year, the internationally celebrated house music vocalist and chart-topping diva Kathy Brown was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, which has now spread to her brain. The news came as a total shock to her family, friends and fans as it resulted in an emergency operation. Kathy is currently undergoing a course of radiotherapy and immunotherapy, and the road ahead is going to be a challenge unlike any she has faced before.

Kathy and her family are now facing the harsh reality of what this means – not only the physical and medical challenges, but also the many financial ones. Like most artists who have devoted their careers to dance music, without being able to perform, there’s little to no chance of Kathy being able to earn an income. Kathy has poured her heart and soul onto stages and dancefloors all over the world for more than thirty years, and is now asking for help. 

Kathy’s daughter Chanta Joyner has set up a GoFundMe to help support the family at this extremely difficult time. To aid the fundraising effort, Toolroom have announced a charity single from Wh0, Mark Knight & James Hurr featuring Kathy’s iconic vocals titled, ‘Turn Me Deeper’. The single oozes fun and good times, which is what Kathy’s music has always been about.

All the original writers have allocated all publishing earnings, with the artists and Toolroom also pledging all of their royalties to help get Kathy the best treatment possible.

Originally hailing from South Carolina, Kathy Brown originally found fame as the chart-topping lead singer of the group Praxis before having US dance hits on her own. In 1999 she climbed to #4 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with “Joy” and in 2004 was the credited lead vocalist on the British act Soul Central’s “Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own)”, a track that samples Rhythm Is Rhythm’s 1989 House classic. Over the years she featured on dozens of house and club singles and has become one of the best-loved voices of house ever to have graced the scene.
