Trey Songz (born Tremaine Aldon Neverson in Petersburg, Virginia on November 28, 1984) is an African American contemporary R&B singer and songwriter. His debut album was Gotta Make It, released by Atlantic Records in 2005. Inspired musically by R&B artists from the 1960s and 1970s such as Smokey Robinson and Aretha Franklin as well as contemporary artists such as Luther Vandross and R.Kelly, the young star debuted in 2005 with great fanfare to a music genre starved for new young talent.
Road to stardom
The first single from the album was “Just Gotta Make It”, which peaked at #87 on the Billboard Hot 100 and only number 21 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally. More recently, Songz has garnered greater notoriety and increased album sales due to his collaboration with Twista on “Girl Tonite”, a song from Twista’s album The Day After which reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally.
He wrote and co-produced music for soca artist Kevin Lyttle’s self-titled debut in 2004 and was featured on the Soundtrack to “Coach Carter” and albums by Trick Daddy, Gerald Levert, and Juvenile. Trey Songz was also featured on Twista’s 2005 album The Day After.
Trey Songz is also very good friends with teenage R&B singer Chris Brown. Trey can be seen in the music video for Chris’ second single “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)”. Likewise Chris Brown can be seen in the music video for Trey’s second single “Gotta Go”

the mixtape is HOTT probably the best male r&b this year besides Maxwell and The-Dream.. I hope his album is good but I dunno, if he's putting garbage like "LOL" and "Brand New" on it and leaving off great tracks like "Infidelity," "More Than That" and "Yo Side of the Bed" I dunno...

<3 <3 <3 does she know. this anticipation mixtape is bananas. i dropped everything for "famous" the past few nights and now "does she know" is stuck on repeat. that backbeat....and the refrain: "you'll never leave my brain..." examine the brains of the a&r person at atlantic records for looking away while trey songz released his best songs independently. hah! i'm in no way looking forward to ready next month. anticipation is everything we need from trey songz.
