Chris Brown wants to be an inspiration

The 23-year-old, who will remain under supervised probation until early next year for assaulting his ex girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, is launching his new charity the Symphonic Love Foundation in Los Angeles, reported Hollywood Life.

"Chris loves kids and he's a real talented painter. He wants other people, especially kids, to be able to show their talent, paint and use their creativity. That's why he is who he is because he is creative and he's thinking outside the box.

"He just wants to give back, you know, help others and wants the kids to have a shot. It's hard out there for [people] these days, so he wants to give back as much as he can," a source said.
