NE-YO has worked his way into the upper reaches of R&B’s most distinguished class, both as a songwriter for artists such as Beyoncé, Rihanna and John Legend and as his own vocal force. NE-YO’s solo projects have landed in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 six times. He has effortlessly composed hits for other artists, starting with Mario’s 2004 single “Let Me Love You,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for nine weeks. Following his signing to Def Jam by then-president/CEO JAY-Z, NE-YO released his debut album In My Own Words in 2006. The album debuted at the top of Billboard 200 in the same week that its lead single “So Sick” topped the Billboard Hot 100. His 2007 follow-up Because of You became his second Billboard 200 No. 1, and netted his first Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album. He earned two more Grammys for his single “Miss Independent” from 2008’s Year of the Gentleman. Aside from his solo career, NE-YO has written, produced and performed on several of the most indelible hits of the century including Keri Hilson’s “Knock You Down” and Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” and “Time of Our Lives.”
