It doesn’t get much hotter than Trey Songz. The 25-year-old Virginia native is riding high on the charts with hit after club-friendly hit, and just saw his latest album, Ready, go gold in the United States.
To top off his success, he has joined rap superstar Jay-Z on his sold out Blueprint 3 tour as the main opening act. It’s a surreal situation for the young crooner he’s still trying to get used to. “Jay-Z is one of the biggest touring acts in the world, he sells out arenas in minutes and to be a part of that is amazing,” Songz said in a recent interview with Essence.com. “Furthermore, Jay-Z is one of the most influential artists in my career as well as in my life. You know, seeing him go from artist to entrepreneur to businessman to multi-business owner, and to be that close to him is amazing. It’s a pleasure.”
Touring with one of the biggest stars in the world isn’t the only great thing that has happened recently for the “Say Ahh” singer. He also got to share the stage with one of his idols, the legendary Stevie Wonder, at this year’s BET Honors. “That was like a highlight of my career right there,” Trey gushed. “Being able to do that means that I am at a certain place in my career where I can stand next to those people and have conversations with them and be respected by them. As a man, that’s a beautiful feeling. As an artist, it’s even more fulfilling.”
