TREY SONGZ: EAR and EYE CANDY FOR THE SOUL! NEW SHIRTLESS PHOTOS, VIDEOS, BIO, PROFILE!

September 5, 2009.
Trey Songz, now a stunning, muscular 26 year-old singing artist, was born Tremaine Aldon Neverson on November 28, 1984, in Petersburg, Virginia. Raised a military brat, he loved hip-hop, but when his friends heard his perfect tenor voice, they pushed Trey Songz to drop rap and start crooning. He did, and after winning numerous talent shows in Petersburg, the 15-year-old singer met Troy Taylor, who had worked behind the scenes with legends Patti LaBelle, SWV, and B2K.

Trey got his diploma and immediately moved to New Jersey to work with Taylor. Soon the singer was appearing on Kevin Lyttle's debut album and Trick Daddy's Thug Matrimony as a sideman as well as breaking out on his own with his solo cut, "About the Game," for the Coach Carter movie soundtrack. While working on his debut album, and collaborations with Lil' Kim, Trina, and Snoop Dogg, he released a few street-level mix-tapes under his alias, the Prince of Virginia.

Songz finally got the recognition he deserved at age 20 in 2005, when he signed with Atlantic and released the album Gotta Make It to generally positive reviews, garnering comparisons to classic soul artists. It received immediate attention because of its attractive mix of standard and modern sounds, and the album introduction by Aretha Franklin. Songz landed hits from the album with the title track “Gotta Make It” and the ballad "Gotta Go."

In 2007, Songz recorded his follow-up album, Trey Day, working with producers Danjahands, Stargate and R. Kelly. The first song, "Wonder Woman," was released in May, 2007 and was followed by "Can't Help But Wait" three months later. The latter song received a coveted Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. That marked the validation of the faith shown Trey by the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who hailed him as one of "the most promising R&B artists we have had since we started the company 60 years ago."

Now, with the 2009 release of READY, Trey Songz is more than ready to claim his place in the pantheon of R&B greats. His latest album draws music and lyrics from such accomplished producers and songwriters as Eric Hudson, Sean Garrett, Stargate, Bryan-Michael Cox, Soul Keys, Jermaine Dupri, Soundz, and long-time collaborator Troy Taylor.

On the READY's first official single, "I Need A Girl," which you can listen to in full at the bottom of this post, Stargate (Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) deliver their signature guitar-led production. The Norwegian-born, NYC-based pair previously worked on Trey's Grammy-nominated "Can't Help But Wait," and decided to revisit their magic on READY.

From the street single, "Brand New," to his self-described male version of Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" in "One Love," the Virginian draws on a range of influences to craft an album that will thrill his longtime fans. Indeed, with its blend of hip-hop, R&B, and pop, exemplified by tracks like "Black Roses," where Trey croons over a distorted guitar, READY demonstrates growth on every front.

In August 2008, Trey added the philanthropic organization Songz For Peace to his repertoire, launching the charity with community activist Noonie Ward in Chicago's crime-ridden Southside before bringing his message to his native Petersburg.

Songz For Peace, a youth-centered association that attracted 500 kids at its opening event, travels to different cities speaking to teens about the dangers of violence and life's positive opportunities. The group is scheduled to visit several more cities across America this year, including Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Baltimore. "The violence within the youth is rising at an alarming rate," says Trey earnestly. "I get to speak on that, and children listen to me."

Deftly balancing and separating his roles as artist, businessman, and philanthropist, Trey has delivered his best work to date with READY. "I've always been the underdog of my class," says Trey. "But this time nothing can stop me from achieving all that I want."
