Ne-Yo, also known by his birth name Shaffer Chimere Smith, was born in Arkansas to two African-American parents. Both his parents were musicians, but was raised by his mother in Las Vegas, Nevada after she separated from his father. While he was at the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, Ne-Yo joined an R&B group named Envy. However, the group disbanded in 2000.

The American songwriter began to gain recognition when he wrote Mario’s hit single “Let Me Love You”. According to the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade Chart in 2009, the song was the eighth most successful single of the decade. The song ranked number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and held that position for nine weeks. After the success of “Let Me Love You”, Ne-Yo had a meeting with the American multinational record label Def Jam. He was eventually signed by Jay-Z, the then-CEO of the label.

In 2006, Ne-Yo released his debut album titled In My Own Words. The album consisted of thirteen tracks including songs such as “So Sick”, “When You’re Mad”, “It Just Ain’t Right”, and “Sexy Love”. Ne-Yo worked with a number of musicians on the album inlcuding Ron “Nef-U” Feemster, Brandon Howard, Shea Taylor, and Curtis “Sauce” Wilson. Rappers Peedi Peedi and Ghostface Killah also feature on songs in the album.

The album was positively received and earned a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Contemporary R&B Album category. Furthermore, In My Own Words debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and became a platinum-seller in Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. In August 2006, Ne-Yo went on tour with Chris Brown and Dem Franchize Boyz.
