Have you ever wondered who wrote some of today’s biggest, most dramatic(al) songs? Probably not. Songwriters are some of the unsung heroes of the music industry. There are a few who have made the transition from writing and producing to artist. I thought of talking about Ne-Yo, but everyone knows his story and he has more shine than some other prominent writers but lesser known artists. Terius “The Dream” Nash is one of those. He has experienced decent success with such hits as “Shawty is a 10” and umm, that’s all I can think of. Today I am actually going to shine my BHM light on him because of his contributions writing for other artists.
He has written for the Brits and the Biebers of the music industry. Rihanna, Beyonce and Mariah all go to him when it comes time to record albums. The man is a beast, yet most people wouldn’t have the slightest idea who he was. I will tell you who he is: THE MAN GETTING MONEY HAND OVER FIST. Writing is where the money is people!
Mariah:” Obsessed” Platinum
RIhanna: “Umbrella” 3x Platinum
Bieber: “Baby” 3x platinum in the US
Beyonce: “Single Ladies” (yes a dude wrote that) 4x Platinum
Kanye: “All of the Lights” Grammy winning
His track record is pretty damned impressive and he somehow managed to bag Christina Milian. Then he cheated on her. Clearly this man has something going for him and needs to be recognized. He did have Jay Z make fun of his “swap meet hat” at this year’s Grammy’s but I’m certain that my blog is FAR more influential than that silly show.
