Early life
Tremaine Aldon Neverson was born on November 28, 1984, in Petersburg, Virginia.[3] He is the son of April (Gholson) Tucker, who was seventeen when he was born, and Claude Neverson Jr.[4] Raised as a military brat by his mother and stepfather,[5] Songz did not have aspirations for a musical career as a child due to his shyness, saying "Singing wasn't a reality for me, until other people started noticing I sounded good."[6] He recognized his vocal abilities at the age of 14.[6] Reluctant to sing, he began performing with encouragement by friends and family in high school. Record producer Troy Taylor was introduced to Songz through Songz's step-father with whom Taylor attended High School, ultimately leading to Songz signing a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 2003.[7] After graduating from Petersburg High School in 2002, Songz moved to New Jersey to begin recording his debut album, though recording did not actually begin until 2003.[3]
Career
2004–2008: I Gotta Make It and Trey Day

While recording his debut album in 2004, Songz released multiple mixtapes under the alias Prince of Virginia.[3] One of the mixtapes featured an "answer track" to R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet", entitled "Open the Closet". The song gave Songz some notoriety.[8]
His debut album, I Gotta Make It was released on July 26, 2005.[9] It debuted at #20 on the Billboard 200, selling 40,000 copies in its first week of sales.[10] It has sold 300,000 records in the US. Songz's debut single, Gotta Make It, featuring Twista, was released in March 2005 and reached #87 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #21 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It garnered success in the R&B/urban community but failed to make a mark in mainstream music. The album's second and final single, Gotta Go, was released in July 2005 and reached #67 on the Hot 100 and #11 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming even more successful than his debut single in the R&B/urban community and in the mainstream community. After promotion for his debut concluded, he was featured on the lead single from Twista's fifth album, The Day After. The single, "Girl Tonite", reached #14 on the Hot 100 and #3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming a huge hit.
In mid-2006, Songz began work on a follow-up album to his debut with longtime collaborator Troy Taylor and also employed successful Bryan-Michael Cox, Danja, Stargate and R. Kelly to help create the album. Trey aimed for the album to be more mainstream-oriented than his debut album. His second studio album, Trey Day, was released on October 2, 2007. The album reached #11 on the Billboard 200,[11] selling 73,000 copies in its first week. It has since sold 400,000 records in the US, becoming his second album not to be certified by the RIAA. The album was going to be released on May 8, 2007, but was continually delayed in order for a successful single to precede the album, as the lead single failed to impact charts.
His second album was preceded by the lead single, "Wonder Woman", which was released in February 2007. It reached #54 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, but failed to impact the Hot 100. Because of the single's failure, his second album was delayed from May 2007 to October 2007. The album's second single, "Can't Help but Wait", was released in August 2007 and was released to promote his second album and the film Step Up 2 the Streets soundtrack as a single for it. The single reached #14 on the Hot 100, and #2 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It became Songz's first Top 20 hit on the Hot 100, and helped to boost his second album's sales. The single was also nominated for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 2008 50th Grammy Awards. The third single from the album, "Last Time", was released in January 2008 and reached #69 on the Hot 100, and #9 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The fourth and final single from the album, "Missin' You", was released in May 2008, but failed to chart completely. In mid-2008, Songz was nominated for a BET Award for Best Male R&B Artist but did not win the award.[12]

Before releasing his third album, Songz released a mixtape titled Anticipation in June 2009 through his blog, which featured songs from his third album.[13] Another mixtape from Trey was released in the summer of 2009, called Genesis.

When I get to a place where I feel comfortable saying a date or all of that, people will definitely know. I have a few dream collaborations on that album that I want, but they say if you blow out your candle and make a wish you can’t tell people what you ask for or it won’t come true".[22]

2018–present
On November 28, 2018, Songz released two surprise mixtapes 11 and 28 in celebration of his 34th birthday.[45][46]
Artistry
Songz’s music is generally R&B, and occasionally displays his ability to blend with hip-hop while still maintaining a production of songs that evoke emotions and vary in subject matters that revolve around the appreciation of women, stimulation of club rave-ups, Fandy of lust and chronicling the highs and lows of love and relationships.[2] Songz’s musical influences include Luther Vandross, Prince, R. Kelly and Usher.[47][48]
The Grammy nominated Chapter V most notably demonstrates his versatility, vocal range, lyricism and melodic girth as he expresses his eternal love for his woman through singles such as “Simply Amazing” with “Heart Attack” showcasing his vulnerable side that discusses trials and tribulations of love and heartache. “Ladies Go Wild” is a dance-friendly track that stems from his experiences of his international nightlife and travels. The “Hail Mary” track balances sensuality against grittiness and likens the pleasures of a woman to a ‘hail mary’ football throw, while “Without A Woman” exemplifies his appreciation for women over a classic 1970s R&B sound. Moreover, “Check Me Out” effortlessly combines Trey’s rap flow and melodic skills, in extension to “Dive In” which is considered to be his most signature-sounding record that uses suave wordplay to compare his pending conquest of a woman's body to taking a dive in the pool. Songz describes his albums as work “that will take you many places, emotionally and sensually.”[2]
Legal issues
In December 2016, Songz was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, and assaulting a police officer causing injury, following a performance at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. The singer is alleged to have "began throwing objects after the venue cut his concert short due to an 11:30 pm curfew" and to have "struck an officer with his fist".[49]
On August 18, 2017, Songz pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 18 months of probation, and will be required to complete anger management classes and pay restitution for the incident.[50][51]
On March 19, 2018, Songz was arrested and charged with felony domestic violence after allegedly punching a woman at a Los Angeles party and was released on a $50,000 bail.[52]
The felony domestic violence case has been rejected by the Los Angeles District Attorney because the singer’s attorney provided multiple witness statements to the Los Angeles Police Department contradicting the alleged victim's claim that Songz beat her and gave her a concussion at a Hollywood Hills party for NBA All-Star Weekend.[53]
On June 4, 2018, Songz was sued by a Detroit cop who says Songz punched him in the face with a closed fist. Trey ended up hurling heavy equipment off the stage and then jumped off the stage himself, picked up a mic stand, threw it and hit a photographer ... who also sued Songz. Sgt. Avery arrested Songz, tried to take him into custody when he says Songz fought him and struck him in the face. The officer fell to the ground and hit his head on the concrete. He allegedly suffered visible bruising and swelling to his right temple, as well as a contusion to his left forehead.[54]
