Growing up idolizing Michael Jackson, Chris Brown followed in his hero’s footsteps by emerging as a young sensation who could sing and dance beyond his years.

Despite ugly moments in his personal life, most notably physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Chris Brown’s flame has refused to be extinguished. Case in point: winning the Grammy for Best R&B Album (F.A.M.E.) in 2012. He’s currently gearing up to release his 10th studio album.
