Autobiography: Chris Brown
Chris Brown
Singer, song writer, and actor. Born on May 5, 1989, in Tappahannock, Virginia. Growing up in a small town of roughly 2,000 people, he was a born entertainer. Brown enjoyed singing in his church choir and was inspired by such musical artists as Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. He also showed off his dance prowess by imitating the dance moves of another one of his idols, Usher. Chris Brown was discovered by Tina Davis who was working for Def Jam Recordings at the time. Chris Brown's self-titled album was released in November 2005 and quickly found its way into the charts. He was only 15 years old. Brown perform R&B and pop music. Working with established producers and songwriters, he had a number one hit with Run It. More hits followed, including Yo (Excuse Me Miss) and Gimme That which was written by Garrett and Storch. Many of the songs have a hip-hop influence, Brown's voice has a classic R&B sound. He has sometimes been compared to Michael Jackson because of his dual talents as a singer and dancer. The album brought Brown two Grammy Award nominations for Best New Artist and Best R&B Contemporary Album. While he did not win, he showed the audience at the Grammy Awards just how talented he was by holding his own while performing with two R&B legends, Lionel Richie and Smokey Robinson. In 2006, he played more than 30 concerts in cities across the country. He had a small role in the box office hit Stomp The Yard (2007), which centered around a step dance competition.
The final months of 2007 brought a wave of new projects for Brown. He released his second album in November of 2007. He’s just my favorite artist I want to meet him one day. Since Chris Brown came out I’ve been his number one fan. He done just grew up so much though since he first came out, he was young. Now he’s a grown man. He’s also my favorite artist because he sing R&B and I just love

    One cannot forget the cruelty that African slaves endured, reoccurring abuse in ways that brought them misery until death. Lawrence Hill 's, The Book of Negroes demonstrates the damaging effects of African slaves; physically, mentally and socially.

Physically speaking Aminata shows her loss of identity through various situations where she could not defend herself and was abused.

    I started dancing before I can remember, but I have been told that I was just about three. I started out at a studio that I cannot remember, doing ballet and tap. Yet, because my entire class would have been so young it can hardly be considered dance, but rather a general physical activity with friends. When I was about to turn six my entire family moved, so I changed studios to the one I am at. I still only did tap and ballet for about three years, when I started to fall behind because everyone else was taking jazz and contemporary. So when I was going to be turning nine I started jazz and contemporary. They were all so different, but they all were quite similar (except for tap, that was pretty different). When I was asked which was my favorite I could not decide because I liked them all for different reasons. I liked jazz because I now…
