Chris Brown, born on May 5 1989, in Tappahannock, Virginia, is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and actor. His powerful vocals and dynamic dance moves launched him into stardom, although his personal life has frequently overshadowed his achievements.
Growing up in a small Virginia town, Brown discovered his passion for singing and dancing early on. He signed with Jive Records at 15, and his debut album, which shares his name, was released in 2005.
Chris Brown was discovered by Tina Davis, then an executive at Def Jam Recordings.
