==Career==
===2002–2004: Career beginnings===
At age 13, Brown was discovered by Hitmission Records, a local production team that visited the gas station where his father worked, while searching for new talent.&lt;ref name=&quot;us&quot;&gt;{{cite web| title= Celebrity Bios – Chris Brown| work=[[Us Weekly]] |url= http://www.usmagazine.com/chris_brown_profile|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080401030734/http://www.usmagazine.com/chris_brown_profile|archive-date=April 1, 2008|access-date=October 11, 2008}}&lt;/ref&gt; Around the same time, he performed with one of his production manager's sons, named TJ, for hip-hop artist [[Puff Daddy]], but the rapper refused to sign him to his record label [[Bad Boy Records]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Chris Brown Reveals Diddy Refused To Sign Him To Bad Boy |work=Vibe|date=June 23, 2022 |url=https://www.vibe.com/music/music-news/chris-brown-diddy-bad-boy-1234670916/}}&lt;/ref&gt; Hitmission's Lamont Fleming provided voice coaching for Brown. The team helped to arrange a demo package, under the name of &quot;C. Sizzle&quot;, and approached contacts in New York. [[Tina Davis (music industry executive)|Tina Davis]], senior [[A&amp;R]] executive at [[Def Jam Recordings]], heard the demo package that Brown's local team had sent to Def Jam, and among the various artists on the CD, she was impressed by Brown’s track &quot;Whose Girl Is That&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;drinkchamps&quot;&gt;{{cite web|title=Episode 319 w/ Chris Brown |work=[[Apple Music]]|url=https://podcasts.apple.com/do/podcast/episode-319-w-chris-brown/id1096830182?i=1000567583489}}&lt;/ref&gt; Davis later had Brown auditioning in her New York office, and she immediately took him to meet the then president of [[Island Def Jam Music Group]], [[Antonio &quot;L.A.&quot; Reid]], who offered to sign him that day, but Brown refused his proposal because Reid wouldn't talk to his mother.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web| title= Chris Brown Said He Said 'No' To Def Jam Because Refused To Explain The Contract To His Mom – 'The man wouldn't talk to my mama' |work=[[Apple Music]]| date=September 14, 2023 |url=https://emilycottontop.com/chris-brown-said-he-said-no-to-def-jam-because-refused-to-explain-the-contract-to-his-mom-the-man-wouldnt-talk-to-my-mama/}}&lt;/ref&gt; Brown then moved temporarily to [[Harlem]], [[New York City]], to seek a record deal.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite magazine |magazine=VA Vibe|title=Another One of Our Own Has Made it|date=September 2005|last=Johnson|first=Brian|pages=5–8}}&lt;/ref&gt; The negotiations with Def Jam continued for two months, and ended when Davis lost her job due to a corporate merger. Brown asked her to be his manager, and once Davis accepted, she promoted the singer to other labels such as [[Jive Records]], [[J-Records]] and [[Warner Bros. Records]]. &quot;I knew that Chris had real talent,&quot; says Davis. &quot;I just knew I wanted to be part of it.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;SFGate&quot;&gt;{{cite news |title=Brown runs with it|work=San Francisco Chronicle| url= http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/01/PKG5ULA4C41.DTL&amp;type=music|date=October 1, 2006|access-date=May 28, 2009 | first=Lee| last= Hildebrand}}&lt;/ref&gt; Brown attended [[Essex High School (Virginia)|Essex High School]] in Virginia until late 2004, when he moved to New York to pursue his music career.&lt;ref name= &quot;Biography Today&quot; /&gt;

According to [[Mark Pitts]], in an interview with [[HitQuarters]], Davis presented Brown with a video recording, and Pitts' reaction was: &quot;I saw huge potential ... I didn't love all the records, but I loved his voice. It wasn't a problem because I knew that he could sing, and I knew how to make records.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;hitquarters.com&quot;&gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_MarkPitts.html |title=Interview with Mark Pitts |publisher=[[HitQuarters]] |date=April 24, 2006 |access-date=December 10, 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121024082039/http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_MarkPitts.html |archive-date=October 24, 2012 |url-status=dead }}&lt;/ref&gt; Brown ultimately chose Jive due to its successful work with then-young acts such as [[Britney Spears]] and [[Justin Timberlake]]. Brown stated, &quot;I picked Jive because they had the best success with younger artists in the pop market, [...] I knew I was going to capture my African American audience, but Jive had a lot of strength in the pop area as well as longevity in careers.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;SFGate&quot;/&gt; In a 2014 interview, Brown said that during his time in Harlem, his artistic intention was to both rap and sing on his records. However, Jive convinced him to focus solely on singing, because at the time, &quot;it wasn't acceptable yet&quot; for an R&amp;B singer to also rap on records.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6P0NDXgFqo|title=FULL INTERVIEW Chris Brown on Ebro in the Morning!|date=November 3, 2014 |access-date=November 7, 2021|via= YouTube}}&lt;/ref&gt;

On June 13, 2006, Brown released a DVD entitled ''[[Chris Brown's Journey]]'', which shows footage of him traveling through England and Japan, preparing for his first visit to the [[Grammy Awards]], behind the scenes of his music videos and bloopers.

[[St. Jude Children's Research Hospital]] received $10,000 in ticket proceeds from Brown's 2006 Up Close &amp; Personal Tour.

In 2008, Brown began work on his third studio album, announced to be called ''[[Graffiti (Chris Brown album)|Graffiti]]'', promising to experiment with a different musical direction inspired by singers [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] and Michael Jackson. He stated, &quot;I wanted to change it up and really be different. Like my style nowadays, I don't try to be typical urban. I want to be like how Prince, Michael and [[Stevie Wonder]] were.

Following [[#Domestic violence case with Rihanna|the domestic violence scandal]] involving Brown and his then-girlfriend, singer [[Rihanna]], on February 8, 2009, much of the mass media took a stance against him.

===Musical style===
Brown's musical style typically blends [[Contemporary R&amp;B|R&amp;B]] with [[hip-hop]] and [[Pop music|pop]], along with other genres.&lt;ref name=&quot;vibeis&quot;/&gt; His pure side of R&amp;B is densely shown throughout his discography, being exemplified by songs like &quot;[[No Bullshit|No BS]]&quot;, &quot;[[Don't Judge Me]]&quot;, &quot;[[Back to Sleep (song)|Back to Sleep]]&quot; and &quot;[[Residuals (song)|Residuals]]&quot;.

Iyana Robertson of [[Vibe (magazine)|''Vibe'']], talking about his introduction to the genre, said: &quot;As traditional R&amp;B flourished around him, the young singer began an evolution of the genre&quot;. She saw his debut single &quot;Run It!&quot; as a &quot;prelude to what Brown would continue to do for the next decade: relentlessly disrupt the constructs of [[rhythm and blues]].&quot; By his second album ''[[Exclusive (album)|Exclusive]]'', she says he was &quot;tapping more [[Electronic music|electric up-tempos]], swimming deep in [[hip-hop]] waters and annihilating the pop arena&quot;. Describing the [[Grammy Award]] winning ''[[F.A.M.E. (Chris Brown album)|F.A.M.E.]]'' as &quot;his most diverse offering to date&quot;, containing songs that mixed many genres including R&amp;B, pop, hip-hop, [[dancehall]], [[Rock music|rock]] and [[Europop]], she remarked, &quot;There was no level of musical flexibility comparable.

===Acting===
Brown has also pursued an acting career. In 2007, he made his on-screen feature film debut as a supporting role in the dance drama ''[[Stomp the Yard]]'' and took a leading role in the Christmas comedy film ''[[This Christmas (2007 film)|This Christmas]]'' (2007). He portrayed Will Tutt in three episodes on the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] television series ''[[The O.C.]]'' in 2007. He also guest starred as himself on the children's programs ''[[Sesame Street]]'' in 2007, ''[[The Suite Life of Zack &amp; Cody]]'' in 2008, and in the [[Comedy Central]] series ''[[Tosh.O]]'' in 2011. He has continued to act inconsistently in films such as the heist thriller, ''[[Takers]]'' (2010), which he also executive produced, the romantic comedy ''[[Think Like a Man]]'' (2012), and the dance film ''[[Battle of the Year (film)|Battle of the Year]]'' (2013). He produced and starred in a documentary on himself entitled ''[[Welcome to My Life (film)|Welcome to My Life]]'' (2017). Reviewing the documentary, Rachel Leah of ''[[Salon.com|Salon]]'' talked about what the singer said on domestic violence, stating: &quot;Chris Brown's actions are inexcusable, but what he says about male violence is vital&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;salon&quot;/&gt; Brown returned to film playing a supporting role in the sports comedy film ''She Ball'' (2021).

He also made a guest starring appearance as a rapper in the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] [[sitcom]] ''[[Black-ish]]'' in the [[Black-ish (season 3)|Season 3]] episode, &quot;Richard Youngster&quot;. The episode received controversy and criticism for its casting of Brown with Caroline Framke of ''[[Vox (magazine)|Vox]]'' writing, &quot;Casting Brown as the linchpin of an episode all about [[double standards]] and oblivious men doing wrong by black women is astonishingly tone-deaf — and a major misstep from a show that usually makes a point of knowing better.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url= https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/4/2/15128834/blackish-chris-brown-episode-richard-youngsta-review-recap|title= Black-ish became its own worst enemy when it cast Chris Brown|website= Vox|date= April 2, 2017|access-date= August 2, 2023}}&lt;/ref&gt; The show's creator [[Kenya Barris]] defended Brown's casting saying, &quot;We wanted someone to play a troubled music star, which he was...

In 2015, he said during an interview for ''[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]'', that God is the only thing that he is afraid of. Speaking about prayers he said &quot;I pray everyday, I think we pray unconsciously too. Personally I don't pray for success. I pray for knowledge for understanding and peace of mind. I really try to pray for that because it's a big world, and you can get wrapped up in it trying to please every city. So I just try to get a peace of mind and me understanding that being at peace with my flaws and my talents. I'm cool with that. That's why I think once He shows me certain things, or even the choices that I make, and decisions that I make that are healthy for me. He shows me the right path. When I bless other people, He always blesses me. It's not even about a self-serving journey; it's about just learning. I want to learn people's experiences. I want to give them experiences too.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |last1=Robertson |first1=Iyana |date=December 23, 2015 |title=Freedom, Fatherhood &amp; The Future: Chris Brown Is Breaking Bad |url=https://www.vibe.com/features/editorial/digital-cover-chris-brown-394364/ |access-date=November 7, 2021}}&lt;/ref&gt;

At around 12:30&amp;nbsp;a.m. ([[Pacific Time Zone|PST]]) on February 8, 2009, Brown and his then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna, had an argument that escalated into physical violence, with Brown causing Rihanna visible severe facial injuries which required hospitalization. Brown turned himself in to the [[Los Angeles Police Department]]'s Wilshire station at 6:30&amp;nbsp;p.m. ([[Pacific Time Zone|PST]]) and was booked under suspicion of making criminal threats.&lt;ref name=&quot;Errico3&quot;/&gt; On June 22, 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault and accepted a plea deal of community labor, five years of probation, and domestic violence counseling.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite magazine |date=August 26, 2009 |title=Chris Brown Sentenced To Five Years' Probation And Community Labor |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/267595/chris-brown-sentenced-to-five-years-probation-and-community-labor |magazine=Billboard |access-date=November 7, 2021}}&lt;/ref&gt; On August 25, Brown received five years of [[probation]].

{{Quote box
|quote =[Style] is not the name of a designer, it's not parading as a model, it's not the money you can spend on a jacket. Style is self-awareness, self-confidence. It's feeling comfortable in what you have on and who you are. It's the ability to be an individual, to be yourself, to be free in a free world.

==Career==
===2002–2004: Career beginnings===
At age 13, Brown was discovered by Hitmission Records, a local production team that visited the gas station where his father worked, while searching for new talent.&lt;ref name=&quot;us&quot;&gt;{{cite web| title= Celebrity Bios – Chris Brown| work=[[Us Weekly]] |url= http://www.usmagazine.com/chris_brown_profile|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080401030734/http://www.usmagazine.com/chris_brown_profile|archive-date=April 1, 2008|access-date=October 11, 2008}}&lt;/ref&gt; Around the same time, he performed with one of his production manager's sons, named TJ, for hip-hop artist [[Puff Daddy]], but the rapper refused to sign him to his record label [[Bad Boy Records]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Chris Brown Reveals Diddy Refused To Sign Him To Bad Boy |work=Vibe|date=June 23, 2022 |url=https://www.vibe.com/music/music-news/chris-brown-diddy-bad-boy-1234670916/}}&lt;/ref&gt; Hitmission's Lamont Fleming provided voice coaching for Brown. The team helped to arrange a demo package, under the name of &quot;C. Sizzle&quot;, and approached contacts in New York. [[Tina Davis (music industry executive)|Tina Davis]], senior [[A&amp;R]] executive at [[Def Jam Recordings]], heard the demo package that Brown's local team had sent to Def Jam, and among the various artists on the CD, she was impressed by Brown’s track &quot;Whose Girl Is That&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;drinkchamps&quot;&gt;{{cite web|title=Episode 319 w/ Chris Brown |work=[[Apple Music]]|url=https://podcasts.apple.com/do/podcast/episode-319-w-chris-brown/id1096830182?i=1000567583489}}&lt;/ref&gt; Davis later had Brown auditioning in her New York office, and she immediately took him to meet the then president of [[Island Def Jam Music Group]], [[Antonio &quot;L.A.&quot; Reid]], who offered to sign him that day, but Brown refused his proposal because Reid wouldn't talk to his mother.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web| title= Chris Brown Said He Said 'No' To Def Jam Because Refused To Explain The Contract To His Mom – 'The man wouldn't talk to my mama' |work=[[Apple Music]]| date=September 14, 2023 |url=https://emilycottontop.com/chris-brown-said-he-said-no-to-def-jam-because-refused-to-explain-the-contract-to-his-mom-the-man-wouldnt-talk-to-my-mama/}}&lt;/ref&gt; Brown then moved temporarily to [[Harlem]], [[New York City]], to seek a record deal.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite magazine |magazine=VA Vibe|title=Another One of Our Own Has Made it|date=September 2005|last=Johnson|first=Brian|pages=5–8}}&lt;/ref&gt; The negotiations with Def Jam continued for two months, and ended when Davis lost her job due to a corporate merger. Brown asked her to be his manager, and once Davis accepted, she promoted the singer to other labels such as [[Jive Records]], [[J-Records]] and [[Warner Bros. Records]]. &quot;I knew that Chris had real talent,&quot; says Davis. &quot;I just knew I wanted to be part of it.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;SFGate&quot;&gt;{{cite news |title=Brown runs with it|work=San Francisco Chronicle| url= http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/01/PKG5ULA4C41.DTL&amp;type=music|date=October 1, 2006|access-date=May 28, 2009 | first=Lee| last= Hildebrand}}&lt;/ref&gt; Brown attended [[Essex High School (Virginia)|Essex High School]] in Virginia until late 2004, when he moved to New York to pursue his music career.&lt;ref name= &quot;Biography Today&quot; /&gt;

According to [[Mark Pitts]], in an interview with [[HitQuarters]], Davis presented Brown with a video recording, and Pitts' reaction was: &quot;I saw huge potential ... I didn't love all the records, but I loved his voice. It wasn't a problem because I knew that he could sing, and I knew how to make records.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;hitquarters.com&quot;&gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_MarkPitts.html |title=Interview with Mark Pitts |publisher=[[HitQuarters]] |date=April 24, 2006 |access-date=December 10, 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121024082039/http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_MarkPitts.html |archive-date=October 24, 2012 |url-status=dead }}&lt;/ref&gt; Brown ultimately chose Jive due to its successful work with then-young acts such as [[Britney Spears]] and [[Justin Timberlake]]. Brown stated, &quot;I picked Jive because they had the best success with younger artists in the pop market, [...] I knew I was going to capture my African American audience, but Jive had a lot of strength in the pop area as well as longevity in careers.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;SFGate&quot;/&gt; In a 2014 interview, Brown said that during his time in Harlem, his artistic intention was to both rap and sing on his records. However, Jive convinced him to focus solely on singing, because at the time, &quot;it wasn't acceptable yet&quot; for an R&amp;B singer to also rap on records.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6P0NDXgFqo|title=FULL INTERVIEW Chris Brown on Ebro in the Morning!|date=November 3, 2014 |access-date=November 7, 2021|via= YouTube}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In 2008, Brown began work on his third studio album, announced to be called ''[[Graffiti (Chris Brown album)|Graffiti]]'', promising to experiment with a different musical direction inspired by singers [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] and Michael Jackson. He stated, &quot;I wanted to change it up and really be different. Like my style nowadays, I don't try to be typical urban. I want to be like how Prince, Michael and [[Stevie Wonder]] were.

Following [[#Domestic violence case with Rihanna|the domestic violence scandal]] involving Brown and his then-girlfriend, singer [[Rihanna]], on February 8, 2009, much of the mass media took a stance against him.

Iyana Robertson of [[Vibe (magazine)|''Vibe'']], talking about his introduction to the genre, said: &quot;As traditional R&amp;B flourished around him, the young singer began an evolution of the genre&quot;.

Describing the [[Grammy Award]] winning ''[[F.A.M.E.

===Acting===
Brown has also pursued an acting career. In 2007, he made his on-screen feature film debut as a supporting role in the dance drama ''[[Stomp the Yard]]'' and took a leading role in the Christmas comedy film ''[[This Christmas (2007 film)|This Christmas]]'' (2007). He portrayed Will Tutt in three episodes on the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] television series ''[[The O.C.]]'' in 2007. He also guest starred as himself on the children's programs ''[[Sesame Street]]'' in 2007, ''[[The Suite Life of Zack &amp; Cody]]'' in 2008, and in the [[Comedy Central]] series ''[[Tosh.O]]'' in 2011. He has continued to act inconsistently in films such as the heist thriller, ''[[Takers]]'' (2010), which he also executive produced, the romantic comedy ''[[Think Like a Man]]'' (2012), and the dance film ''[[Battle of the Year (film)|Battle of the Year]]'' (2013). He produced and starred in a documentary on himself entitled ''[[Welcome to My Life (film)|Welcome to My Life]]'' (2017). Reviewing the documentary, Rachel Leah of ''[[Salon.com|Salon]]'' talked about what the singer said on domestic violence, stating: &quot;Chris Brown's actions are inexcusable, but what he says about male violence is vital&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;salon&quot;/&gt; Brown returned to film playing a supporting role in the sports comedy film ''She Ball'' (2021).

He also made a guest starring appearance as a rapper in the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] [[sitcom]] ''[[Black-ish]]'' in the [[Black-ish (season 3)|Season 3]] episode, &quot;Richard Youngster&quot;. The episode received controversy and criticism for its casting of Brown with Caroline Framke of ''[[Vox (magazine)|Vox]]'' writing, &quot;Casting Brown as the linchpin of an episode all about [[double standards]] and oblivious men doing wrong by black women is astonishingly tone-deaf — and a major misstep from a show that usually makes a point of knowing better.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url= https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/4/2/15128834/blackish-chris-brown-episode-richard-youngsta-review-recap|title= Black-ish became its own worst enemy when it cast Chris Brown|website= Vox|date= April 2, 2017|access-date= August 2, 2023}}&lt;/ref&gt; The show's creator [[Kenya Barris]] defended Brown's casting saying, &quot;We wanted someone to play a troubled music star, which he was... It had been 10 years since the [[#Legal issues|Rihanna incident]], which happened when he was a kid, basically, 19 years old, I saw him out, and he was very contrite and wanted to do something.

In 2015, he said during an interview for ''[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]'', that God is the only thing that he is afraid of. Speaking about prayers he said &quot;I pray everyday, I think we pray unconsciously too. Personally I don't pray for success. I pray for knowledge for understanding and peace of mind. I really try to pray for that because it's a big world, and you can get wrapped up in it trying to please every city. So I just try to get a peace of mind and me understanding that being at peace with my flaws and my talents. I'm cool with that. That's why I think once He shows me certain things, or even the choices that I make, and decisions that I make that are healthy for me. He shows me the right path. When I bless other people, He always blesses me. It's not even about a self-serving journey; it's about just learning. I want to learn people's experiences. I want to give them experiences too.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |last1=Robertson |first1=Iyana |date=December 23, 2015 |title=Freedom, Fatherhood &amp; The Future: Chris Brown Is Breaking Bad |url=https://www.vibe.com/features/editorial/digital-cover-chris-brown-394364/ |access-date=November 7, 2021}}&lt;/ref&gt;

At around 12:30&amp;nbsp;a.m. ([[Pacific Time Zone|PST]]) on February 8, 2009, Brown and his then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna, had an argument that escalated into physical violence, with Brown causing Rihanna visible severe facial injuries which required hospitalization. Brown turned himself in to the [[Los Angeles Police Department]]'s Wilshire station at 6:30&amp;nbsp;p.m. ([[Pacific Time Zone|PST]]) and was booked under suspicion of making criminal threats.&lt;ref name=&quot;Errico3&quot;/&gt; On June 22, 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault and accepted a plea deal of community labor, five years of probation, and domestic violence counseling.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite magazine |date=August 26, 2009 |title=Chris Brown Sentenced To Five Years' Probation And Community Labor |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/267595/chris-brown-sentenced-to-five-years-probation-and-community-labor |magazine=Billboard |access-date=November 7, 2021}}&lt;/ref&gt; On August 25, Brown received five years of [[probation]].

{{Quote box
|quote =[Style] is not the name of a designer, it's not parading as a model, it's not the money you can spend on a jacket. Style is self-awareness, self-confidence. It's feeling comfortable in what you have on and who you are. It's the ability to be an individual, to be yourself, to be free in a free world.
