You can Google the name and a plethora of accomplishments will jump out at you on the page. Lamartz Brown is considered a renowned brand marketing guru, business coach along with being a published author of two highly rated novels. He was born and raised in Paterson, New Jersey where he attended Berkeley College. Lamartz seen a need that needed to be met but no one was stepping up to the plate in order to have it accomplished. He seen that most role models the youth in his community were following behind lack the stature that would aid them in becoming successful adults. With the internet being the main focus to pretty much every youth, Lamartz founded Life Lyrics Entertainment , as a platform to the masses.
"Since our platform launch in 2005, we’ve been diligent in our vision to see a world where black businesses, creatives, and entrepreneurs are heavily promoted and showcased."
Here at The River's Edge Writers, we completely agree with that concept of promoting and showcasing talents. Lamartz's degree in Business Management paved out a strategy that turned his website into a staple in his community. Inspiring up and coming authors, writers, poets, screenwriters along with producers. Lamartz found a backing every successful businessman needed as the King to his empire and that was his Queen.
He married Kaneisha Brown in 2020 and his wife's support for the cause Lamartz had in mind has been as unwavering as he has.
"So proud of my husband and everything he is accomplishing right now!!"
The support did nothing less than push Lamartz to publish his first novel "Built On Broken Pieces" which was published through his very own company Life Lyrics Entertainment in 2021. He later companied with the award-winning, bestselling author of over 110 titles in the African American romance, urban romance, and nonfiction genres, B. Love. Where she presented him under her label and Lamartz published "Blank Canvas of You" in 2023. The fanfare for these novels are, not to sound corny, but an author's dream because we all know reviews is what drives us as literary creators.
"This book had such a great storyline, your words are hypnotic and the way you captured the reality of hood life and the struggles is on point. I did not put this book down until I was done, this was definitely a page turner."
"What a story! “Blank Canvas of You” was a phenomenal read! This is Lamartz second release and I see tremendous growth in his writing! I was blown away by this story!"
Now if you ask Lamartz, he doesn't have many fans but the multitude of reviews behind his two novels tell another story. Plus, he likes to refer to himself as being "wet behind the ears" like a rookie but this rookie is hitting homeruns with every swing. Lamartz says he's old school in his writing style and from the authors he favors, we can see why. The late Bestseller Tracy Brown, Tupac's baby sister Takerra Allen and "Little Ghetto Girl" author Danielle Santiago, just to name a few. All true storytellers in their own rights and Lamartz dove headfirst in their stories. Along with his favorite authors, music inspires him, creating a melody to the motion picture in his head.
"I would most definitely like to see my works on the big screen. It's nothing like seeing your character come to life for everyone to see."
Lamartz is working on that dream. Gathering his structured writing skills together as he works on a spin off to his novel "Blank Canvas of You" along with a few other novels he has trapped in his head ready to come out. We know his fans and followers can't wait to see what he has in store for them. Over here at The River's Edge Writers, we think Mona Lisa about to tell Mega he's about to be a daddy, just saying but don't quote us. Now Mr. Brown's fans won't have long to wait to meet the man behind the two amazing urban novels. He has a book signing coming up in July in his very own hometown of Paterson, NJ.
