Chris Brown is an American R&B musician; since making his debut in 2005, he has released three albums and acquired a net worth of $22 million. Brown grew up in Tappahannock, Virginia, and taught himself to sing and dance, later citing Usher, Michael Jackson, and his parents' soul records as major influences. With his mother's help, he sought a recording contract in his early teens and eventually moved to New York to find representation. He recorded his debut album, Chris Brown, at the age of sixteen, and his single "Run It!" made him the first male artist to debut a single at number one on the Billboard charts since Montell Jordan in 1995.

In 2009, Brown was also charged with making criminal threats and with felony assault against his then-girlfriend, R&B singer Rihanna. He was sentenced to one year of domestic violence counseling, six months of community service, five years of probation, and a five-year restraining order from Rihanna. Brown has toured to support all three of his albums, as well as opening for Beyoncé Knowles on portions of her The Beyoncé Experience tour and supporting Rihanna on her Good Girl Gone Bad tour.
