Childhood
On May 5, 1989, in Tappahannock, Virginia, Christopher Maurice Brown was born to Joyce Hawkins, a former director of a day care center, and Clinton Brown, a prisons officer at a nearby jail. Lytrell Bundy , his older sister, is employed at a bank. From his early years, music was a constant in Brown’s life. He soon started to express interest in the hip-hop movement after listening to soul albums that belonged to his parents.
Brown, who frequently credits Michael Jackson as his influence, learned himself to sing and dance at an early age. He started to participate in a number of local talent events and the choir at his church. In a 2023 interview with Shannon Sharpe, Brown stated that he began to consider music as a career after winning a talent show at a summer camp by singing Sisqó’s “Thong Song” at the age of 11: “The camp leaders, they laughed, but everybody kinda went crazy in there and I was like ‘I think I can do this’.”
His mother noticed his vocal ability when he imitated Usher’s rendition of “My Way,” and they started searching for a record deal. Brown was dealing with personal problems at the time. His mother was the victim of domestic abuse by her boyfriend, which frightened him after his parents’ divorce.
The abusive relationship is detailed by Brown in his 2017 self-documentary, Welcome to My Life. According to Brown, his mother’s lover shot himself in the head when he was six years old, but he survived. He was blinded by the shooting, and his physical disability only made him angry. Hawkins was the target of his mother’s partner’s rage and frustration: “I had to listen to my mom get beaten up every night.” I would urinate on myself because I was afraid to go outside into the hallway for fear of seeing nothing.
Career 2002–2004: The start of a career
Hitmission Records, a local production company that stopped by the petrol station where his father worked to find new talent, found Brown when he was 13 years old. At about the same moment, he performed for hip-hop superstar Puff Daddy alongside TJ, the son of one of his production managers, but the rapper declined to sign him to his record label, Bad Boy Records. Brown received voice instruction from Lamont Fleming of Hitmission. The crew contacted contacts in New York and assisted in setting up a sample package under the moniker “C. Sizzle.”
Tina Davis, a senior A&R executive at Def Jam Recordings, was impressed by Brown’s song “Whose Girl Is That” among the artists on the CD after hearing the demo package that Brown’s local team had provided to Def Jam. After Brown had an audition in her New York office, Davis took him right away to visit Island Def Jam Music group s previous president. Brown turned down Antonio “L.A.” Reid’s offer to sign him that day because he refused to speak to his mother. In an attempt to land a record deal, Brown then began to live in Harlem, New York.
When Davis lost her job as a result of a corporate merger, the two-month-long negotiations with Def Jam came to an end. After Davis agreed when Brown asked her to be his manager, she promoted the singer to Warner Bros. Records, Jive Records, and J-Records. Davis’s statement, “I knew that Chris had real talent,” “I just knew I wanted to be part of it.” Before relocating to New York in late 2004 to further his musical career, Brown attended Essex High School in Virginia. In an interview with HitQuarters, Mark Pitts claimed that when Davis showed Brown a video recording, Pitts’ response was, “I saw great potential…
Although I didn’t enjoy every record, I adored his voice. I knew he could sing, and I knew how to record, so it wasn’t an issue.” Because of its excellent work with then-young talents like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, Brown finally decided on Jive. Brown said, “I picked Jive because they had the best success with younger artists in the pop market, […] I knew I was going to capture my African American audience, but Jive had a lot of strength in the pop area as well as longevity in careers.” In a 2013 interview, Brown stated :
Jive persuaded him to limit himself to singing since, in his words, “it wasn’t acceptable yet” for an R&B singer to rhyme on songs. This was his creative purpose when he was attempting to get major labels to listen to his music when he remained permanently in Harlem.
