<p>&#8220;[Vaughn] has a great voice and a great talent for writing, and I&#8217;ve seen that grow over time because he just worked so hard at it,&#8221; brother John Legend told Billboard.com. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s ready now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Legend officially signed Vaughn Anthony to HomeSchool in November 2007, just weeks after unveiling the label&#8217;s first signing, U.K. singer Estelle. Since then, the 28-year-old has cut his teeth as one of Legend&#8217;s background vocalists on tour and released a six-track E.P. on iTunes in 2008 entitled &#8220;Mr. Everything.&#8221; A debut album featuring music by the Runners and Phatboi Productions is in the works.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just being on the road and watching John, it helped me develop a lot,&#8221; says Anthony, whose first single will be &#8220;In Your Shoes,&#8221; a song co-written with his brother and currently featured on his MySpace page. &#8220;It&#8217;s been longer than I&#8217;ve wanted to wait, but now I feel like it&#8217;s really my time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;All that experience is kind of what I did when I was with Kanye [West],&#8221; adds Legend. &#8220;It&#8217;s like an apprenticeship, where you&#8217;re learning the ropes before they put the spotlights on you. That&#8217;s real artist development, and that&#8217;s what we do at HomeSchool.&#8221;</p>
