Chris Brown is celebrating his 36th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer-songwriter-rapper Chris Brown (Don't Wake Me Up, Yeah 3x, Run It!, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 36th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Brown, a cultural icon
Born Christopher Maurice Brown in Tappahannock on May 5, 1989, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Brown's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Chris hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Chris Brown as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 36.
Happy Birthday, Chris, you're the best!
