Terius Youngdell Nash better known by his stage name The-Dream, is an American singer and songwriter. He rose to fame following the writing of hits including Rihanna's "Umbrella" and J. Holiday's "Bed".
Born in North Carolina and raised in Atlanta by his grandfather, The-Dream wrote songs for B2K, 3LW, Mýa and Nivea, before sending Rihanna "Umbrella," which he wrote in a matter of twelve minutes! And the song was originally made for Britney Spears, but the writer changed his mind and passed it to Mary J Blige. Which was unable to hear the song in full due to her obligations to the Grammys at the time. Def Jam representatives remained eager to secure the song for Rihanna, the writers themselves waited the weekend for an answer from Ms. Blige. But Finally they gave it to Rihanna, and the The Dream does not regret today!
After the major success of "Umbrella", Nash began working on various projects, as well as completing his debut studio album, Love Hate which was written and recorded in only nine days and co-produced by his writing and production partner, Tricky Stewart. None of his first singles from the album was any succsess.
Nash has completed new material for Usher, Mary J. Blige, Janet Jackson, Sting, Keyshia Cole, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, will.i.am, and Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. The-Dream has recently released a remix to the third single “I Luv Your Girl”,featuring rapper Young Jeezy. And YOU can listen to the track HERE! :-D
