There are entertainers who sing for their people and then there are singers who speak for their generation.  Stevie spoke for hearts and souls; Marvin crooned for his country; Fela sent the rhythm of Africa abroad; Curtis gave the ghetto a voice.  Artist come a dime a dozen, but a spokesman for the masses who’s been bestowed with a voice from the heavens, once every generation.  With Atlantic Records R&B blessings, Trey Songz, the first generation to come of age in the 21st century has on they can claim as their own.

Songz was born Tremaine Aldon Neverson on November 28, 1984, in Petersburg, Virginia.  Raised a military brat, he recognized his vocal abilities at the age of 14.  Reluctant to sing, Songz began performing with encouragement by friends and family. Record producer Troy Taylor discovered Songz during a talent show, which led him to a record contract with Atlantic Records.
