At the age of two he moved with his mother to Atlanta, Georgia where she raised him until her sudden death at the age of thirty-five. Afterwards, he was taken in by his grandfather, who was an avid music fan. It was through this relationship that he was introduced to many legendary artists that made up his grandfather's record collection. As soon as he heard the soulful sounds of Sam Cooke and Al Green, The-Dream was hooked. In the third grade he began his musical venture by enrolling in introductory trumpet classes at Grove Park Elementary School. He continued playing the trumpet through high school and later learned to play the drums and guitar.
In junior high and high school his musical influences extended toward such artists such as Timbaland , Missy Elliott, Aaliyah and Tupac Shakur. His talents continued to naturally develop and eventually lead The-Dream to begin singing, rapping and song writing.
In addition, he is an accomplished artist and has created many paintings and sculptures, some of which have been shown at various art galleries throughout Atlanta.
In 2001, The-Dream was introduced to Laney Stewart of Redzone Entertainment. Although their first meeting wasn't very successful, things fared better the second time around and Laney pulled him into his camp. The two immediately collaborated to write for the multi-platinum group B2K.
In early 2003, The-Dream was signed by Laney Stewart to a new publishing deal with Morningside Trail through a joint venture with peer music. Since then he has continued writing for other artists including the newest single "Me Against The Music" for Britney Spears. The-Dream recently worked on Jive artist Nivea's forthcoming sophomore effort (April 2005) including the hit single "Okay" featuring Lil' Jon and Youngbloodz.
In 2006, The-Dream was brought in by Tricky Stewart of Redzone to collaborate with various artists including Bayje (Atlantic), Dear Jane & J.Holiday (Capitol), and Brit & Alex (Interscope).
To kick off the New Year, The-Dream began 2007 with major success. With the help of Tricky Stewart, " umbrella" was created and taken to several different labels with artists ranging from Britney Spears at Jive to Mary J. Blige and Akon. Yet, it was the genius of Karen Kwak that got the record into the hands of Def Jam Record's CEO, LA Reid. Def Jam flew The-Dream and Tricky to LA to record with Rihanna, where they also wrote "Breakin' Dishes," a song off Rihanna's latest release, Good Girl Gone Bad.
Despite his current success, The-Dream never stops dreaming. Look out for The-Dream's future collaborations with hot artists such as Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Karina Pasian, Young Joc, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Jazzy Phae, Keke Palmer, Gia, Tricky Stewart, Don Vito, Wynter Gordon, Shontelle, and Lucy Walsh.

The-Dream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Putting it down like a motherfucking mack
Selling candy all up in my ear
She wanna be down like the Ds on the Lac
Slow dancing in the club, her diamonds look like rainbows
She grinding on my dick, she looking for the pot of gold
We hop up in that AMG and D, we in the Westin
She putting moves on me, I coulda swore shorty's a wrestler
Talking all that shit
Soon as I hit
Now I got her talking like this
(In a falsetto) She like, ooh, ooh, baby
Ah, ah, ah, ooh (ooh, ooh)
(In a falsetto) She like, ooh, ooh, baby
Ah, ah, ah, ooh
(In a falsetto) She like, ooh, ooh, baby
Ah, ah, ah, ooh
(In a falsetto) She like, ooh, ooh, baby
Ah, ah, ah, ooh (ooh, ooh)
She's telling all her homies I'm the real deal
Every time she leave the crib, shorty be coming right back
She talking dirty all up in my ear (ear)
And I'm finna put this dog right on her kitty cat
I wasn't gon' show you up, but then you got that liquor in ya
Calling last night a fluke, acting like she didn't remember
I hopped up out that linen, I'm finna defend my title
Finna put your ass to bed, tell me, which way would you like it?
Talking all that shit
Soon as I hit
Now I got her talking like this

Ah, ah, ah, ooh (ooh, ooh)

Ah, ah, ah, ooh (ooh, ooh)
(In a falsetto) She like, ooh, ooh, baby
Ah, ah, ah, ooh

She said it feels like her very first time
She said it feels like her very first time
Grind it, grind it, grind it, baby
Grind it, grind it, make me crazy
Grind it, grind it, do it, do it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Grind it, grind it, grind it, hon'
Grind it, grind it, now say

It's all over now, you can come back down (Woosah)
We can talk in this key right here (Woosah)
But any time you want me to take you up
Baby, jump on this elevator, promise there ain't nothing greater
(Eh) Take a shower (eh) Let's take a shower (eh, eh)
Let's take a shower (eh) Let's take a shower, eh
And I'll meet you right back here in a half an hour (Eh, eh, eh)

The song "Falsetto" by The-Dream is a very suggestive and provocative track that talks about seduction and sex. The lyrics describe a sexual encounter between the singer and a woman who is interested in him, and how the singer is in control of the encounter. The song starts with the singer reminiscing on how they first met and how she was attracted to him. She tries to impress him by selling candy in his ear and slow dancing in a club. As the night goes on, they end up in a hotel room where she becomes very forward with him. The singer admits that he is enjoying the physical interaction but is also aware of the woman's intentions. The chorus of the song is sung in a falsetto voice, which gives it a unique sound and adds to the seductive tone. The song ends with the singer offering to take a shower with the woman and meet her back in the room in half an hour.
Overall, "Falsetto" is a very explicit song that leaves very little to the imagination. This track is not for the faint of heart and should be approached with caution due to its suggestive lyrics and sexual content.
