Al B. Sure! is a globally celebrated best selling author, singer, songwriter, actor and producer with multiple RIAA-certified multi-platinum albums, American Music Award, Soul Train Awards, and multiple Grammy nominations. His 1988 Warner Brothers breakout single Nite and Day propelled his debut album In Effect Mode to the top of Billboard Magazine R&B charts for seven straight weeks. A pivotal ambassador of New Jack Swing, he has worked with some of the most acclaimed artists and producers of our time, including the late Quincy Delight Jones Jr., Usher, Diana Ross, Tevin Campbell, Faith Evans, David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Michael McDonald, JODECI, and more. In October 2022, Sure! miraculously woke up from a two-month coma having endured multi-system organ failure, a thirty-eight-day stint on a ventilator, and a medical crisis that placed him on kidney dialysis and required a liver transplant. Still recovering from this medical tsunami, Al B. Sure! has dedicated his life to advocating in Halls of Congress for equal access to quality health care for the under served communities in America. He is the Executive Chairman of the Health Equity in Transplantation Coalition, and recently coauthored transplant legislation for the State of Texas focused on protecting the rights of heroes that checked the Organ Donor boxes on their drivers licenses.
