Ne-Yo Biography
Ne-Yo is one of the most popular and richest R&B Singer who was born on October 18, 1979 in Camden, Arkansas, United States. R&B songwriter who won the Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2012. His third Album, Year of the Gentleman, was nominated for a 2009 Grammy Award. His debut album, In My Own Words, included the song “So Sick,” which became a #1 hit on the U.S. Billboard 200.
In 2006, he collaborated with Rihanna on her top-ten single “Unfaithful.”
After Envy disbanded in 2000, Columbia Records signed Ne-Yo, but the label dropped him before he could release his already-recorded first album. American singer Marques Houston happened to hear “That Girl”, which Ne-Yo had planned to release as his debut single from his then-unreleased album. Houston re-recorded the song and released it as a single for his 2003 album MH. The release of the song led to Ne-Yo being recognized as a top songwriter.
While in the Las Vegas Academy, Smith adopted the stage name GoGo and joined an R&B group called Envy, who appeared during amateur night on Showtime at the Apollo and on the MTV’s The Cut (hosted by Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of TLC). The group disbanded in 2000, and Smith continued to write songs for other artists before starting his solo career. The stage name Ne-Yo was coined by Big D Evans, a producer with whom Ne-Yo once worked, because Evans claimed that Ne-Yo sees music like the character Neo sees the Matrix.
He had a son named Mason Evan Smith and a daughter named Madilyn Grace Smith with Monyetta Shaw. He married Crystal Renay in 2016, and the couple welcomed a son named Shaffer Jr. that same year. In January 2018, they had a second son together. He and Crystal separated in 2020.
