Notable artists associated with CBE include Kevin McCall, Sabrina Antoinette, former RichGirl member Sevyn Streeter, and the rock band U.G.L.Y.

Breezy’s Cosmic Crunch
In 2021, Brown teamed up with Miami-based SoFlo Snacks to create Breezy’s Cosmic Crunch, a limited-edition breakfast cereal. The product quickly became a top seller, selling out during its presale.
Burger King Franchises
Chris Brown also ventured into fast food, owning 14 Burger King franchises in Virginia. He has since sold his shares in these franchises.
Symphonic Love Foundation
In 2012, Brown founded the Symphonic Love Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to using the arts for positive change. The foundation initially awarded over $200,000 in grants to organisations like AIDS Project Los Angeles and the Jenesse Center.
“It definitely has been a labour of love. That what it’s all about for me—art and love,” Brown said in a statement at the time.
“Art influences every aspect of my life completely. It helps me to be myself. Focusing on positivity and love helps you have respect for yourself and others. It’s what I strive for, so I hope this foundation and the website encourages everyone to express themselves creatively and be who they want to be.”
