Thanks in part to them, Trey Songz net worth is still on the rise at such a young age.

She didn’t have to worry about his performance, because even though it was his first in front of a larger audience, he nailed it. A year later when he was 15 years old, he met a New Jersey music producer. They both agreed that he would first finish high school before moving forward in the music industry.
