Biography

Clarence B. Milton (CB Milton) was born in Surinam, but he has lived in The Netherlands since he was six years old. He did not have the money for a proper musical education, so he was forced to teach himself the difficult profession of a musician. The prizes CB Milton regularly won at talent competitions encouraged him to go on, and finally he had enough self-confidence to make a definitive move into a musical career.

He learned the tricks of the trade working with the group Swinging Soul Machine, and became the youngest lead singer that the group had ever known in its twenty-five years of existence. CB also worked as a session musician for famous artists such as Madeline Bell and The Trammps. Through the bass player of The Trammps, CB Milton came into contact with the successful Belgian production duo Phil Wilde and Peter Bauwens. After seeing a performance, the spiritual father of 2 Unlimited, Jean-Paul De Coster, fell for CB Milton’s talent. The rest is history.

Their first period of work together resulted in the release of a debut single Send Me An Angel, which has made people everywhere sit up this year. This number was in the charts for many weeks, amid rapidly rising international interest which culminated in a worldwide release. One interesting detail : during promotional performances on radio and television, CB Milton has consistently surprised friends and enemies alike by insisting on singing live, even though programme directors have often advised him against doing so.

    Ik zag deze man op Girls First, het concert georganiseerd door Plan Nederland. Wat een mooie stem heeft hij, zeg! Hij kan gemakkelijk vergeleken worden met de groten, dacht ik.

    Phil Wilde released a pretty good remix of "Loving Thing". Check for it on iTunes or elsewhere.
