WRITER/PRODUCER GONE ARTIST: THE DREAM

Friday, July 27, 2007

Think you’ve never heard this guy’s music before? Well, if you’ve recently blasted Rihanna’s “Umbrella” (which he wrote in 12 minutes) or “Breakin’ Dishes” or J. Holiday’s “Bed,” then you’re very familiar with The Dream’s sound. Working closely with teammates Tricky Stewart and Jazze Pha, Dream plays guitar, trumpet and drums and is the husband of R&B singer, Nivea. It’s no wonder that in his spare time, he enjoys painting and sculpting. Drawing his inspiration from Sam Cooke, Al Green and Timbaland, this Rockingham, NC native (now based in Atlanta) has production and writing credits everywhere. Just check the discography.

It’s rumored that his new video for “Shawty Is A 10″ is being shot in the coming weeks. There are definitely high hopes set for this new Def Jam signee. But he’s definitely not new to the game…

For more information about the Dream, make sure you log onto his MySpace and be on the look out for the exclusive sit-down interview with the hit-maker.
