Early-June Music: Just 27, his career already spans three decades

Jun 3, 2016

Sun 5 June, 19:00; Forum; 600kr

American R&B star and amateur pugilist Chris Brown, famous for hits like ‘Kiss Kiss’, ‘Run it’ and Rihanna, is coming to Copenhagen.

Known for his direct, some would say heavy-handed style, Brown has been compared to the likes of Usher and Floyd Mayweather Jr, although he has not quite reached their heights.

Though, at the relatively young age of 27 – he’s been in the industry since being discovered at his father’s gas station aged just 13 – there is still plenty of time for him to pound out a legacy.

A guaranteed hit with the ladies, Brown is sure to deliver a knockout performance. (DM)
