David Mann, Ingeniously funny and extraordinarily talented are understatements when it comes to the multifaceted actor and NAACP Image® Award winner for Outstanding Actor In A Comedy Series (Meet The Browns, “Mr. Brown”), David Mann. A native of Texas, David joined forces with world-renowned producer, director, actor, and playwright, Tyler Perry. The illustrious innovator had written, directed, and produced numerous plays including the hit stage play, “I Can Do Bad All By Myself,” where David remarkably immortalized the intrusively nosey, wisecracking, ashy-kneed, and outrageously funny neighbor, “Mr. Brown.”

As was apropos, David’s bravo performance led the way for “Mr. Brown” to become a regular in Perry’s stage and film productions and in the hilarious television comedy, “Meet The Browns.” David reprised the role of “Mr. Brown” for audiences on 2019’s massive Madea Farewell Tour. The tour is a sure-fire hit, playing to packed theaters across the country. David and his wife, Grammy®-winning recording artist and actress, Tamela Mann, together helm Tillymann Entertainment. They starred together in the NAACP Image® Award-winning docuseries “The Manns” and the hit comedy “Mann & Wife.” In 2018, the Mann’s released their first book and joint album, “Us Against the World: Our Secrets to Love, Marriage, and Family”. The book won a NAACP Image® Award for Outstanding Literary Work and the album continues to garner top-charting singles including the current Urban AC track, “Ups & Downs.”

Tamela Mann is a Grammy Award Winner, BET Award winner, Billboard Music Award Winner, NAACP Image® Award Winner, Gospel Music Stellar Award Winner, GMA Dove Award Winner, actress, songwriter, producer, and businesswoman. Her stage skills were first noticed by world-renowned producer, director, actor, and playwright, Tyler Perry, who chose her to appear in his play, “I Can Do Bad All By Myself,” in the role of “Cora Simmons.” From there her acting career grew as she continued to appear as “Cora” in Perry’s stage and film productions and in the hilarious television comedy, “Meet the Browns.”

Even as she has enthralled audiences with her comedic acting over the years, Tamela has never strayed far from her first love of singing. Her Stellar Gospel Music Award-winning, GMA Dove Award-winning album Best Days debuted at No. 1 on multiple Billboard music sales charts and includes the No. 1 RIAA-Platinum certified single “Take Me to The King,” which earned Tamela her first Grammy® Award Nomination for Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance. Tamela set a historic personal and industry record as the first Gospel lead artist in Billboard Gospel Airplay chart history to score three consecutive No. 1’s from an album. The string of hits from this album, Best Days, includes “Take Me to The King,” “I Can Only Imagine,” and “This Place.” The album received Billboard’s illustrious “Album of the Decade” for 2010- 2019, in the Gospel category.
