But for the decade that Anthony had spent wandering from label to label, the public got used to this genre, which made the 2003 album Comin' From Where I'm From a very timely release. At the beginning of Anthony’s career, the music he performed was referred to the alternative soul and was accepted reluctantly. The composition was nominated for Grammy and Hamilton was signed up with So So Def. He demonstrated all his talent to a wide audience after singing the chorus in Po' Folks of Nappy Roots. He continued working hard and took part in projects of many other performers waiting for a new proposal. As if marked with bad luck, the artist sank into depression. However, by the moment of his return, Soulife had bankrupted too. The concerts appeared a great event and left Anthony with many pleasant impressions. In 2000 Hamilton was invited by D’Angelo to perform background vocals during his global Voodoo Tour. There, he began writing songs for his own solo project and other performers. It received poor promotion and, dissatisfied with the label, Hamilton relocated to Los Angeles to cooperate with Soulife.
After the end of Uptown, Hamilton moved to MCA and recorded a very proficient album, called XTC (1996).
However, when the work on the first album was about to be finished, the company collapsed and the album was never released. The singer signed a contract with Uptown Records, a company specializing in hip-hop and soul. As time went by, he realized he had overdone the level of the local stage and had to move further. In his youth years, Anthony used to perfect his skills actively performing at nightclubs and participating in numerous young talent shows. He discovered his big musical abilities when started singing in the local church choir, aged ten. Anthony Hamilton was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina.
