Early Life
Robert Berisford Brown was born on February 5, 1969, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Carole Elizabeth, a substitute teacher, and Herbert James Brown, a construction worker. Brown and his siblings experienced childhood in Roxbury.
Brown’s first experience on stage came when one of his boyhood idols, James Brown, performed in Boston, sparking a desire to pursue a career as a vocalist. He joined the church choir, where he discovered and honed his vocal abilities.
Career
Brown began his career in the R&B and pop band called New Edition, which he joined in 1978 and left in December 1985. He then 12 years old, formed New Edition. Their debut album Candy Girl was a top-20 hit on Billboard’s R&B Singles Chart in 1983.
Brown’s entire lead vocal performance was on the New Edition ballad “Jealous Girl,” which peaked in 1983 and was a hit single. Brown stayed with the group for the last two albums in 1986.
Brown’s first solo album “Don’t Be Cruel” produced five top ten Billboard Hot 100 singles, including the number one hit, My Prerogative, and the Grammy Award-winning, Every Little Step.
Humpin’ Around, Get Away and Good Enough were among the singles from Brown’s following album Bobby (1992). Despite being certified three times platinum, Bobby’s sales fell short of its predecessor.
Later, Brown also wrote two songs for the Ghostbusters II soundtrack in 1989. In 1996 and 1997, he rejoined New Edition for a reunion record and tour, and in 2005, he did so again with all six members.

Brown was in talks with Bravo for a reality show called Being Bobby Brown in 2005. His wife, Whitney Houston, agreed to join the cast, and the show became a huge sensation. The show aired for one season and was canceled in 2006.
Brown’s film credits include A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Two Can Play That Game, Ghostbusters II, Panther, Go for Broke, Nora’s Hair Salon, Nora’s Hair Salon 2: A Cut Above, Crank Yankers, and The Masked Singer, in addition to music.
Brown pulled out of a book entitled Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But, penned by writer Derrick Handspike, that he was planning to release in 2008 owing to the controversy surrounding remarks he made about Houston.
After Houston’s demise in 2012, the book was released, and it has already sold over a million copies. Brown also appeared on stage where he sang and danced to the song Tap into My Heart at the 1990 MTV Awards.
Brown is also recognized for bringing the “Running Man” dance to the world. He alleged that he was the one who taught Michael Jackson how to moonwalk. On television, he has been portrayed by a number of artists on several platforms.

An open warrant for breaking probation in his 1996 drunken driving conviction led to his arrest. Brown was charged with assault in 2003 after allegedly punching and threatening his wife Whitney Houston.
Houston was said to have visible facial injuries, according to police. Brown was sentenced to an eight-day jail sentence in DeKalb County, Georgia in the same year after pleading guilty to a drunken driving charge in 1996.
