The-Dream
Terius Youngdell Nash, better known by his stage name The-Dream, is a Grammy Award nominated American singer-songwriter and producer.
Before officially becoming a musician, Dream made ends meet doing everything from working at Checkers to becoming a collections agent.
Dream married girlfriend Nivea in 2004, who later gave birth to their daughter Navy Talia in May 2005. However, Nivea filed for divorce in December 2007. In addition to music, Dream is also an accomplished artist who has created many paintings and sculptures, some of which have been shown at various art galleries throughout Atlanta.
After graduating from Charles L. Harper High School, Dream joined the singing group, Guess Who, signed by local rapper Raheem. They sang the hook to 'Most Beautiful Girl,' which became moderately successful.
Over the next few years later, Dream began writing songs for up-and-coming rappers and hooks for his peers. He got his first publishing deal in 2003, when he signed to Peer Music after writing B2K's single, 'Everything,' off the group's platinum album, 'Pandemonium!'.
