Brown tends to be very laid back, with a funk attitude and a love for all things music-related. When the decision is made to send Shane to live under his supervision at camp, he takes this duty seriously but allows Shane the room needed for him to grow. He takes a liking to Mitchie as well, finding a way around her punishment to get her to perform at Final Jam and supporting her music and personal growth throughout both films.

Camp Rock[]
Brown hired Connie Torres and her daughter to cater to hungry youngsters in his venture of Camp Rock. In his first vocals class of the year, Brown cold calls Mitchie to be the first to sing in front of the class, as she was the only one who didn't have her hand up. Mitchie is surprised that she got picked and when she's in front of the class, she sings her song, "Who Will I Be". She sings it too low and Brown tells her, "Even if you're singing a solo, you're singing so low I can't hear you." She sings higher as she seems to enjoy herself, forgetting how nervous she was beforehand. The class knows she is good at singing, but Tess is a little jealous. On the other hand, Brown seems to take a liking to her, while also starting to socialize with the caterer. After the food fight, Brown makes Caitlyn work in the kitchen, Mitchie isn't happy about this, exclaiming "What!" This led Caitlyn to discover something out about Mitchie, specifically finding out that she works in the kitchen and is actually the cook's daughter, the kitchen is where their bond gets stronger. Tess complains to Brown about her "missing" charm bracelet and he tells Mitchie and Caitlyn they can't participate in any camp activities until after Final Jam, and he means it. But after Margaret Dupree wins he lets Mitchie perform, and she sings "This is Me" and Shane, who is with his two bandmembers, hears the song. He says, "that's the song" and sings it with Mitchie. Brown locking eyes with Mitchie's mother knows exactly what just happened, and while cautious for the future of his nephew's band, he is nevertheless thankful that the flame of love may burn once more. Now, he just has to be careful about all those wooden structures.
Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam[]
During the next year, Brown has to change the way he manages the camp. Even though he is joyful to see that Connie and her daughter are back, so is his old bandmate and rival, Axel Turner who organized a rival camp for young people, seemingly out of spite. As Brown and the gang visit the rival camp Camp Star, Axels' plan becomes clear. Because of past transgressions, he plans to eliminate Browns' camp for revenge due to him being kicked out of Brown's band all those years ago. For a while it may seem like he is going to succeed, Camp Star has much higher production values than Camp Rock, and even manages to make some less eager attendees to cross over, such as Tess Tyler. As a result, Brown is in despair, his only solace being Connie. Thankfully, Mitchie and the rest of the gang comes through. Riveting song "We Can't Back Down" manages to convince the less eager campers to pitch in, and help organize the camp acitivities for younger attendees. Brown is relieved and (almost) tearfully thanks Mitchie and her mother for much needed respite. But even though things at camp go almost smoothly, Mitchie is hungry for revenge as well. Brown tries to convince her that it is folly, that Axel has much higher resources, but stubborn youngster does not listen and challenges the rival campers (led by Luke Williams and Tess Tyler) for "Camp Wars" which is televised nationally. Brown, not knowing what to do, turns to Connie once more. The day of the battle arrives, and unfortunately, Camp Rock loses to Camp Star. Not all is lost however, as while at goodbye fire, telephones of all organizers of Camp Rock light up. It turns out that a huge televised conerts was a great way to turn attention to a little more quaint experience that is, after all, a little slice fo heaven that is Camp Rock. Brown turns to Connie once more and hugs her as she reciprocates. Camp Rock is saved, and so is the life of Brown Cesario.
