Born in Haiti, Paul Frappier moved at a young age to Quebec, first living in Saint-Lazare and Hudson before settling in Montreal with his adopted Québécois family in the Little Burgundy area.

He left home in his teenage years, and quickly discovered a talent for the harmonica that could earn him a living by busking on the street and in Montreal Metro stations.

Frappier developed his sound by playing in the streets, combining his skill as a blues/jazz harmonica player with his love of hip-hop.

He adopted his stage name from the suggestion of fellow Montreal rapper Misery, which coincidentally was the name of his childhood favourite WWF wrestler, Allen Coage (nicknamed Bad News Brown).

Brown crafted the tracks on Born 2 Sin with production assistance from Haig V, Dirtwork, Parafino, C4, Made By Monkeys and Edi Burgz.

The single "Feeling Me On" was released as part of the Universal Music compilation Hip Hop Rai 2, which sold over 50,000 units in Europe.

As part of the "Music With Meaning" tour in 2009, he spoke to an audience of teenage boys in a youth detention center.

The documentary was written and directed by Mila Aung-Thwin of EyeSteelFilm and produced by Germaine Ying Gee Wong for the National Film Board of Canada.

Brown plays a leading role as "Loosecanon", a high-ranking, violent gang leader on a fictional "Rue I.B.
