Career

Trey Songz came to music through his mother's influence when he was 14. He took part in a local talent show and won. At the age of 15 he met his mentor and producer Troy Taylor, who also helped him to his album debut I Gotta Make It . It was released in 2005 on the Atlantic Records label and reached number 20 on the US Billboard charts and sold 300,000 copies. During his first singles gotta make it , gotta go and Wonder Woman are not the top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart reached, he could with Can not Help but Wait , which is the second release of his second album Trey Day was , occupy 14th place.

His third album Ready has been on the market since August 31, 2009 and has sold 450,000 times to date. Ready is considered his breakthrough, which can also be seen from the chart positions. With the album he reached number 3 in the US Billboard 200 charts and number 2 in the US RnB charts. The first single I Need a Girl , which was produced by Stargate , rose to number 59 in the charts. The second single Successful (feat. Drake ), which is also on the mixtape of Drake So Far Gone , rose in the charts Number 17. The third single LOL :-) , in which the rappers Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy are featured, reached number 51 in the charts. The fourth single I Invented Sex reached number 42, but number 1 in the RnB charts. So I Invented Sex was the first number one position in the RnB charts for Trey Songz. Say Aah (feat. Fabolous ), which is the sequel to I Invented Sex , was able to build on this success and reached number 9, as well as number 3 in the R&B charts. Thus, Say Aah was Tey's most successful single until 2010.

Neighbors Know My Name , Ready's sixth single , reached number 43 on the Billboard charts. The seventh single, Yo Side of the Bed , in whose music video Keri Hilson made a cameo, reached number 80. Among other things, he sang the song takes Time to Love for the film Shopaholic-Die Schnäppchenjägerin .

In 2009, Songz received his first Grammy Award nomination for the single Can't Help but Wait in the "Best Male R&B Vocal Performance" category on the 51st Grammy Award Show, held in February 2009. Trey Songz was also nominated for a Grammy in the Contemporary R&B Album category in 2010 - but the Grammy went to Beyoncé Knowles . Trey Songz is also a member of the RnB / hip-hop band Ocean's 7 , which includes Jermaine Dupri , Nelly , Usher , Johntá Austin , Bryan Michael Cox, Tyrone Davis and Trey Songz. Trey Songz is also known for his word "Yup", which he also uses in many of his songs. The year 2010 revealed another success for Trey when he was allowed to appear on the American MTV Unplugged.
