Sunshine Anderson

Though she sang in musicals and talent shows throughout her childhood, Charlotte, NC native Sunshine Anderson was discovered while waiting in line in a cafeteria at North Carolina Central University. After she graduated from Central University, Anderson relocated to Los Angeles, where she worked with Mike City on her debut album and found a manager in critically acclaimed singer Macy Gray.

Propelled by the single “Heard It All Before,” Anderson’s first album — 2001’s Your Woman — debuted at number two on Billboard’s R&B albums chart and reached near platinum status selling over 800,000 copies. Sunshine at Midnight, released on Mathew Knowles’ Music World label and featuring assistance from Dr. Dre, Raphael Saadiq (as well as City), was released nearly six years later. Anderson’s third album was released in 2010 entitled The Sun Shines Again.

Today, Sunshine resides in Charlotte, NC and is excited to be in the midst of great things happening in the city. You can also catch her on the radio! Every Saturday listen to Radio One Charlotte’s “Old School 105.3”, 2-6pm EST the “Sunshine Saturday Takeover”!
