Chris Brown

 Chris Brown (or Christopher Maurice Brown) is an American rhythm and blues musician, songwriter and actor. Born May 5 1989, in Tappahannock (Virginia, U.S.A). He began to discover his passion for singing and dancing when he was a kid and was signed to Jive Records at the age of 15. His debut album, which was self-titled was released in 2005. Sales increased steadily due to the strength of the chart-topping single "Run It!" and the quality Brown showed in his singing and dancing earned him early comparisons to famous artists like Usher as well as Michael Jackson. In 2006, Brown was nominated for two Grammy Awards, including best new artist, and in 2007 he further developed his career in entertainment with roles in the dance drama film Stomp the Yard, the famous TV comedy The O.C., and the comedy-drama holiday film This Christmas. In late 2007 he also released his second album, Exclusive, which was widely praised for showcasing his growing maturity, while remaining appealing to his teens. Exclusive featured collaborations like Kanye West and Lil Wayne, while the single "Kiss Kiss" with T-Pain took the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
