Quincy Brownknows that he grew up under extraordinary circumstances.
“I think I’ve been a sponge, and now I do so much,” he tells PEOPLE of Diddy, whom he met as a child when the producer began dating late modelKim Porter.
“One of my passions, I’m very much into the art of acting, and then there’s music. But just seeing how he’s able to handle and juggle all these things, I took that from him as my most major takeaway.”

Though Brown split his time between sides of his family in New York and Georgia as a kid, he got the full experience of growing up under the hip-hop mogul’s wing when he and his siblings would join Diddy on tour.
“I think my pops felt safer with us there, no matter what it was. He needed his family there, and I think having your kids as your road dogs was a win-win. It made everything go better,” says Brown.
Brown is also interested in ushering new talent into the industry, with sights set on his 16-year-old twin sisters,D’Lila Star and Jessie James, whom he features in the video for his latest single, “Face Off.”
“We don’t need no contracts, no paper, but I’m my sisters' manager,” he laughs. “I’m like, the uncle- dad-manager-protector, I’m claiming it. I want to be able to really guide them. I want them to really know the layers of everything you can do. They’ve expressed to me their passions, where they see themselves, so I’m kind ofbringing them along on my ridea little bit because in a minute, it’s going to springboard into their own journey.”
