Trey Songz's Barefoot Childhood
Tremaine Aldon Neverson was born on November 28, 1984 in the sunny state of Virginia (USA). From an early age, he was fascinated by hip-hop culture, in particular the work of R. Kelly.
Being a very shy and withdrawn child, he grew up without a father and was strongly influenced by his mother. But once his comrades, having heard his performance, convinced the boy to leave rap and test his abilities as a vocalist. The guys "pushed" the 15-year-old teenager to the beginning of creative success.
Having a pronounced tenor, the guy took part in various school music programs with his own compositions. The main merit belongs to his mother, who contributed to his participation in the show of young talents.
There he was noticed by his first producer Troy Taylor. The latter invited him to start a joint activity. Later, Trey gave his mother a house as a token of gratitude. And immediately after graduation he went to conquer New Jersey.
Just had to start...
At first, the young performer took part in the recordings of other performers. He set mixtape records under the creative nickname Prince of Virginia. During this period, he created the soundtrack for the film Coach Carter.
In the meantime, he met famous artists who helped him record his first album, I Gotta Make It, which was released in June 2005. The collection sold tens of thousands across the country, and some of its hits hit the top XNUMX in the Billboard rating.
This was a great start for the young performer. The reputation of the author also increased. Nevertheless, the collection did not enter the top ten of the top 100.
Creative breakthroughs Trey Songz
But this did not stop the young man, in subsequent years he actively worked on his own projects, and already in 2007 a new collection of Trey Bay was released, which took places in several categories at once. Both well-known and young performers took an active part in it.
Their joint creation has already taken 11th position in the US charts. Since then, things have improved for the musician. In September 2009, a third studio album, Ready, was announced. Numerous US tours began in support of the album.
The main success can be considered his project Ready, which gave him a "gold", and soon a "platinum" disc. Before the release of the album, the author recorded one of the Anticipation mixtapes.
The work is a selection of compositions he created when he was a teenager. So he wanted to acquaint his fans with the manner of his performance at that time and show how things have changed.
creative twist
Gradually, he changed the creation of albums to mixing, concert activities and joint work. And in 2009 he was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Vocal Performer nomination. One album after another came out, during the same period, Trey began to release mixtapes.
Since mid-2013, the artist began work on his sixth album, Trigga. It was released in July 2014, debuting at the top of the United States rankings. In the first week of sale, the work sold 105 copies. And in May 2015, his collection was released in digital format.
Today, there are already seven collections in his collection. He actively helps young performers. In addition, Trey managed to play in a number of sensational film projects, such as TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D.
Problems with law
At the moment, the artist is a welcome guest in the recordings of gangsta rappers and increasingly appears in one or another video clip. Like most rappers, has a number of problems with the law.
In early 2016, at the end of his speech, he was detained on charges of assaulting a police officer and injuring a photojournalist.
They put forward the version that Trey began to throw objects due to the reduction of his concert program due to the curfew. However, the musician realized his act and received an honest 18 months for correction with a mandatory test for the presence of a psychoactive substance and classes to eliminate anger.
This did not greatly affect the character of the singer and his further clashes with the organs. This upset the celebrity, and to clear his conscience, he periodically provided assistance to the poor people of his community, where the guy grew up.
Trey Songz: personal life
Despite the peak of popularity, Trey successfully hides his personal life, only occasionally giving hints on his social networks. So, in May 2019, he posted a photo of his son on Twitter, which terribly upset many of his fans.
And only at the end of April, he posted a video where you can see his family, and even two French bulldogs.
