born on November 28, 1984 in Petersburg, Virginia. He is the son of
April (Gholson) Tucker, who was seventeen when he was born, and Claude
Neverson Jr. Raised as a military brat by his mother and stepfather,
Songz did not have aspirations for a musical career as a child due to
his shyness, saying "Singing wasn't a reality for me, until other
people started noticing I sounded good." He recognized his vocal
abilities at the age of 14. Reluctant to sing, he began performing
with encouragement by friends and family in high school. Record

step-father with whom Taylor attended High School, ultimately leading
to Songz signing a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 2003.
After graduating from Petersburg High School in 2002, Songz moved to
New Jersey to begin recording his debut album, though recording did
not actually begin until 2003.
