The R&B/hip-hop star was born Tremaine Aldon Neverson in Petersburg, Virginia.
Always a shy kid, Trey was reluctant to sing in front of others. "Singing wasn't a reality for me, until other people started noticing I sounded good," he told Vibe. With encouragement from friends and family, he started performing in local talent shows as a teen, where he was discovered by record producer Troy Taylor.
He started a buzz with his track "Open the Closet," an answer song to R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet." Shortly after, he released his debut album, I Gotta Make It, in 2005. It debuted at #20 on the Billboard 200.
