You are referring to rock and rhythm & blues legend Chuck Berry. He served three years (1944-1947) in reform school, but eventually, it was music that saved him. While working in a blues trio in his native St. Louis, he became very popular, and decided to seek a solo career as a performer. By the mid-1950s, he had several big hits on the top-40 charts: his first top-40 hit was "Maybelline" in 1955, when Rock Music was just beginning to grow in popularity.

But music was where his heart was: he began performing in a band 1952, and by 1955, his group was one of the most popular in St. Louis. From there, he became a star performer in his own right in rock's early years, and also wrote a number of hits.
