Born and raised in Georgia, USA, Baron Browne gravitated to music at a very early age, learning to play his uncle's drumset at 7 years old. As a teenager he dabbled in piano lessons and at age 12 played guitar for a year before realizing that bass guitar was to be his instrument.
At age 18 Baron was launched into the professional music scene right out of high school, moving to Boston and studying at the Berklee School of Music.
After studying at the prestigious school for a year he began working full time in Boston with artists such as Kevin Eubanks, Tiger Okoshi, Mike Stern, Bill Frisell and Dean Brown. In 1983 Baron received a call from jazz-fusion violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. After touring for 3 years and recording 3 albums with Ponty, Billy Cobham came calling. Baron travelled extensively throughout Europe and the U.S. with the legendary drummer. After 3 years and 2 albums with Cobham, Baron returned to the Ponty band for more work.
In 1990 Baron joined the group Steps Ahead featuring Mike Mainieri and "Saturday Night Live" saxophonist Alex Foster. One year later he was invited by renowned jazz vibraphonist Gary Burton to join him for tours of Japan, Europe and the U.S.
Baron's versatility with playing all styles of music allowed him to also perform with R&B and Pop artists such as Brian McKnight, Tom Jones and Expose.
In 1996 Jean-Luc Ponty called on Baron once again to record his first live album in over 20 years (Live at Chene Park). That album received rave reviews from jazz critics. In 1997 Baron's talents were secured by renowned Journey drummer Steve Smith for an European tour with Steve's band Vital Information.
The much sought after bassist has made several television appearances including "The Pat Sajak Show" on CBS and "Ohne Filter" in Germany.
Baron can recently be heard on albums by jazz recording artist Walter Beasley. Because of Baron's musical experience Walter has also made Baron musical director of his touring band. Bassist Browne has continued to be a major force in the music industry. He has expanded his range to include producing and arranging for other artists as well as his own projects.
