“I have learned to be patient, and I’ve also learned that there’s true love. And if anybody ever got between me and my daughter, I don’t know what would go on,” he jokes. “She’s super chill. Kind of like me, just laid back, and if she gets mad, she’s super easy to cheer up real quick.”

Brown, 27, hasn’t let fatherhood get in the way of his work, using the time off the road due to the coronavirus pandemic torelease new musicand launch his own record label. He admits he couldn’t have done any of it without the support of his wife.
“Kate’s been a great mom and a huge backbone for me if I have to go to the studio or if I go to a writing session,” he says. “There’s never anything that she can’t handle. She never hits me up and says, ‘Hey you have to leave your write early because I have to do this.’ She’s just there, so she’s awesome.”

The couple,who wed in 2018, enjoy nothing more than spending their time hanging out with their bundle of joy.
While the pair haven’t decided whenthey’ll have another child, they are resetting their expectations for when it does happen, because “this one’s so easy that the next one’s probably going to be crazy — at least that’s how everybody tells us it happens.”

The loving parents are shocked at how mature little Kingsley is and how quickly her personality has developed.
One thing she already has in common with her dad is a love of music. “She’s intoCocomelonright now. When that comes on, she’s running towards it,” he says.

Parenting isn’t the only thing keeping the award-winning musician busy while he enjoys the extended time at home. Brown has teamed up with Lowe’s to launch100 Hometowns, an initiative to complete 100 impact projects this year as part of a $10 million commitment to give back to the communities the retailer serves.
The home improvement store is inviting people to nominate a hometown project in need of restoration, and they will award 100 grants in June to help recipients complete projects to build, repair, beautify, inspire and improve 100 communities across the country.

The star chose the East Lake Boys & Girls Club in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee, something that means more to him as a former Lowe’s associate.
“I started working at Lowe’s before my music career started, and they took me to the Boys and Girls Club of Chattanooga, and we got to go in and check out some things that we’re going to repair,” he reveals. “We’re going to knock down some walls, columns and do some painting. It’s going to be nice to shine it up for the kids whenever they go in and have somewhere nice to play.”
For the “Cool Again” singer, it was the perfect opportunity to use his platform to help kids who are growing up like he did.
“I just love helping people in general. Growing up with a rough life, I wish somebody would have just stepped up and helped me,” he confesses. “So now with the platform I have, I love that I get to do what I wish somebody would have done for me, and it means the world to me just to be able to put a smile on at least one or two people’s faces.”
The artist says coming from a similar background helps him understand the needs of those who are struggling in his hometown.
“I’m so grateful for growing up how I did, not really having anything, and being where I’m at now just so I can relate to both sides and remember what I went through,” he says, “it really helps me want to help other people.”
For Brown, it’s important to pay good deeds forward and to eventually inspire his daughter through the positive use of his celebrity status.
“Hopefully when she gets older, I can take her back to the Boys & Girls Club in Chattanooga that we’re building up and that I got to make 20 times better and just show what we did.,” he says. “Maybe bring her back to Lowe’s and show her that’s where her dad used to work, kind of show her the ropes, maybe get her a vest, put her to work.”
