Chris Brown: 'Art Was My Only Outlet'

Chris Brown is all smiles as he jokes around with photographers outside a recording studio on Monday (January 24) in Hollywood, Calif.

The 21-year-old singer has recently used his Twitter to show off some of his colorful collaborations with Australian graffiti specialist Kid Zoom.

“I fell in love with art around the age of six. I always took pride in kind of winning the coloring contests in school,” Chris explained. “Art was my only outlet. Aside from music, art is the thing that I like to use as an escape. I appreciate other artists who have that talent and that eye for detail and eye for their own imagination. Art is a part of my life and it influences me completely.”
