Trey Songz

Trey Songz, an R&B singer and songwriter, began his recording career after producer Troy Taylor discovered him in 2003 and signed him to Songbook Entertainment, which worked with Atlantic Records. Born in Petersburg, Virginia, he released his debut album, I Gotta Make It, in 2005, then Trey Day in 2007, the latter carrying the single Can't Help but Wait, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. Ready arrived in 2009 and included Say Aah, which reached number nine on the Hot 100, and his fifth album, Chapter V (2012), was the first of his records to reach the top of the Billboard 200, a feat his album Trigga matched in 2014. He also played the male lead in Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013), and he has continued releasing albums, including Tremaine (2017) and Back Home (2020).
