Chris Brown is an R&B and pop singer, most famous for his two No.1 hits "Run It!" and "Kiss Kiss".

Brown was reportedly discovered in his father's Tappahannock, Virginia, gas station by a local production team at the age of 14. After being rejected by La Face records, Brown found a home on Jive Records and at the tender age of 16 released his debut album, Chris Brown. This eponymous album reached No.1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, spawning several Top 10 hits around the world including "Run It!", "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" and "Say Goodbye". Chris Brown also garnered two Grammy nominations, for Best New Artist and Best Contemporary R&B Album.

After the release of his debut album, Brown teamed up with fellow R&B singer Ne-Yo to co-headline the 28-city Up Close and Personal tour, before heading back into the studio to record his second album, Exclusive (2007). Despite a disappointing performance by first single "Wall to Wall", the second single "Kiss Kiss" was much more successful, topping the chart in November 2007 to become Brown's second Hot 100 chart-topper after "Run It!". "With You" was also a big success, peaking at No.2 on the Hot 100, while a duet with Jordin Sparks called "No Air" was a Top 10 hit.
