History

Born Tremaine Aldon Neverson, his family noticed his strong potential in singing and rapping. Being a military brat always on the move with his family had created a bit of shyness in Songz Trey. Trey noticed the tune of his voice at the age of 14 and although was bashful, sang at his highschool talent show. A record producer caught wind of one of Trey's talent show perfomances and offered him a record deal he couldn't refuse. In 2002, Atlantic Records signed Songz Trey. Trey then moved to New Jersey and started to record his debut album which was finally released in 2004.

The debut album sold 300,000 in the United States alone and was Trey Songz' claim to fame.

Features

Kelly into making the album and had two hit singles spawn from it entitled "Wonder Woman" and "Can't Help But Wait". This album sold 400,000 across the country and had great promotion. The onloy downfall to the album was single "Missin' You", which failed to deliver and did not make it on the Hot 100 Billboard charts.

In 2009 and 2010 his next album called Ready went into the forefront. Trey became an opening act for Jay Z during his Fall tour in 2009 which garnered more success for Songz. Trey's Ready album even got nominated at the 2010 Grammys. With the help of R & B artist Drake, Trey Songz got to number one on the Hot 100 charts with the song "I Invented Sex".
