Favorite Quotes from Trey Songz
“Success can be a dangerous drug. It definitely changes people, and it can take you to another world, if you allow it to.”
“The thing that is cool about my come up is that I dealt with fame and having money gradually. It didn’t happen overnight. It was something that took a while to happen. It was something that humbled me and made me very appreciative of my blessings more than I would have been if it had happened faster and easier.”
“Barriers have been broken: rappers are singing, and singers are rapping. You might catch a rapper on a rock song, a pop artist on a hip-hop song – there are so many different things that are going on today. That is the same way in which we live our lives; we’re all over the place. I like to try different things.”

Tips for Success from Trey Songz
“I get to go make music, and I get paid to do it, and this is what people love me for. I couldn’t ask for anything greater, so how could I not go in the studio and make a million songs?”
“I take pride in working very hard. You need to understand that hard work doesn’t instantly pay off. My career grew gradually and taught me a lesson every step of the way.”
“I urge younger artists to know that you don’t have to be anything you don’t want. You can do whatever’s comfortable for you. From the music I make to the things I do in my life, I’m true to my R&B core. I have the capability to make pop records and crossover, but that’s not my aim.”
