Piano Critic

Hip-hop  is one kind of music that really gets me on my feet. I like it when black guys sing hip-hop, just like the way I like them sing R&B. They have a unique way of singing which I believe only them can do. Chris Brown is one of my favorite black artists of all time.

Christopher Maurice Brown was born in Virginia on May 5, 1989. Since childhood, his interest in music can be seen through the collection of soul albums his parents owned. Later on, he started listening to hip-hop and began making songs.

As an artist, Chris taught himself how to sing and dance, He liked Michael Jackson a lot and often imitated the way he moves. He was soon discovered by Hitmission Records who arranged a demo package for him. He then moved to New York and did a few auditions. He immediately got accepted as his talent was highly appreciated by the people in the music industry. From then on, Brown had several projects and became famous. He was then married to Rihanna, a fellow singer who also tops the charts.

In 2009, Rihanna and Chris divorced as he committed felony assault and was sentenced to five years probation with six months community service. I was shocked hearing all these things. He seemed too good to be able to do this but there were proofs and he also admitted it. This was a great challenge in his career. He had to make a lot of effort to prove himself and to make the public interested again.

During the release of his song, Look at Me Now, he proved himself to the public again. Together with Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, the music went out really well. I love the rap part and the background music itself. Some people gather sheetmusic online and try to play them. Chris Brown is one hip-hop artist that really gets people on our feet.
