At the tender age of twenty-two, Ne-Yo possesses lyrical and musical talent that are far beyond his years. Born into a family of musicians from Arkansas, Shaffer C. Smith (a.k.a. Ne-Yo) was raised in a single parent home by his mother. In hopes of better opportunities, Ne-Yo's mother relocated the family to Las Vegas, Nevada, where Ne-Yo would discover his passion: music.

The singer/songwriter penned one of the biggest radio records in history (189.5 million listeners in one week)--"Let Me Love You"--which stayed at #1 on Billboard's R&B chart for several weeks. Ne-Yo's lyrics touch your heart and make you "feel good in your soul." Written with Scott Storch and Kam Houf and performed by the R&B artist Mario, "Let Me Love You" is a glimpse into the mind of a true writer. "It's a great song, and I'm really happy to have written it," Ne-Yo says.
