Chris Brown arrived as a teenage singer and dancer whose moves drew comparisons with Michael Jackson. His early hits made him one of the most successful young R&B artists of the 2000s. His 2009 assault on Rihanna, then his girlfriend, damaged his reputation permanently. He has faced further legal problems since. Even so, his records have continued to sell strongly and he remains a major streaming draw. His career has become a frequent example in debates about separating art from the behaviour of artists.
Christopher Maurice Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. An R&B musician who works in a variety of genres, he has been called the "King of R&B" by some contemporaries.
