The-Dream: Terius Youngdell Nash (born June 14, 1978 in Rockingham, North Carolina), better known by his stage name The-Dream, is is a Grammy Award winning American R&B singer-songwriter, producer and Executive Vice President of Island Def Jam Records. In 2007 he released his debut album Love Hate which spawned three top 20 singles.
It reflects the odd time-lag that R&B has between its release in the US and arrival in the UK as well as his awkward standing as a performer in the genre.
