The Kenny Burns Show: EP. 170 — A Conversation With Nicci Gilbert

On this episode of The Kenny Burns Show, @kennyburns sits down with Nicci Gilbert—one of the iconic voices of the legendary R&B group Brownstone, accomplished songwriter, and on-screen talent—for an honest, powerful conversation about legacy, reinvention, and longevity.

Nicci takes us through her journey to success, reflecting on the early days of Brownstone, what it truly meant to be signed to Michael Jackson’s label, and the pressure and promise that came with that moment. She opens up about the challenges singers faced when pivoting into television and film at a time when that crossover wasn’t easily accepted, and how she navigated evolving in an industry that didn’t always make space for growth.

From music and media to resilience, purpose, and what’s next, Nicci also shares what fans can expect from Brownstone moving forward—and why this chapter feels just as intentional as the first.
