[b]Chris Brown Interview, Stomp the Yard[/b] … [b]Q:[/b] Who is your main inspiration, in terms of dancing? And, were you influenced, at all, by James Brown? [b]CHRIS BROWN:[/b] James Brown was definitely one of my influences because Michael Jackson was influenced by James Brown. Michael Jackson would be my creator. I would say he’s my creator because, without him, I wouldn’t be dancing or singing. When I was two or three years old, I was watching everything [he did]. I knew the whole routines when I was younger. So, I was like, “Okay, that’s who I want to be like.” So then, when I actually got my chance to do it, I just went for it. I still portray myself, and try to do my own style, but at the same time, I’m influenced by him. And, James Brown was another one that paved the way first.
