Ne-Yo grew up in a single parent home. Ne-Yo began writing songs at an early age.

Ne-Yo’s big break in the music business occurred in early 2005 when Mario’s single "Let Me Love You" topped pop and r&b charts.

The song was co-written by Ne-Yo with Scott Storch and Kam Houf. He was signed to a contract with Columbia Records as an artist, but organizational problems stopped his album from being released.

After leaving Columbia Records, Ne-Yo signed with DefJam. "Stay," his first single for the new label, reached the r&b top 40 in the U.S.

The follow up single "So Sick" has become his pop breakthrough climbing into the pop top 40 by early 2006. Ne-Yo’s first album In My Own Words was set for a February 28, 2006 release.
