Before starting his recording career, Grammy-winning artist Ne-Yo was a chart topping songwriter for such artists as Mary J. Blige and Celine Dion. He then earned rave reviews for his platinum debut album "In My Own Words." Ne-Yo began writing at an early age and looked to Sammy Davis, Jr. as his idol. He also expresses his creativity through acting, painting and martial arts. He recently played himself in a guest spot on ABC's All My Children, performing a track from his new release, "Year of the Gentleman."
