He would listen to soul albums that his parents owned,[12] and eventually began to show interest in the hip-hop scene.[9] He is African American, and has also said that he has Pamunkey Native American ancestry.[14] Brown taught himself to sing and dance at a young age and often cites Michael Jackson as his inspiration.[11] He began to perform in his church choir and in several local talent shows.[15][16] When he mimicked an Usher performance of "My Way",[17] his mother recognized his vocal talent, and they began to look for the opportunity of a record deal.[15] At the same time, Brown was going through personal issues. His parents had divorced, and his mother's boyfriend terrified him by subjecting her to domestic violence.[18]
