What makes him DX Next worthy?: The Dream has already proven himself to be just as big (if not bigger than) the next Ne-Yo. And, this renaissance man's capabilities extend way beyond song writing and singing: he also he plays the trumpet, guitar, and drums, and is also an accomplished painter and sculptor with gallery displays across Atlanta. It's no wonder why a man with such broad horizons doesn't like to define the sound of his music:

"It just sounds like music." he says, "That's exactly what it sounds like. It just sounds like music. You know, those lil (categories) its just like religion. (Record Execs say) 'we'll put this hat on this (sound) and this hat on (that sound)'.... blah blah blah. it's just music. It's very 80's inspired though, because I think that the 80's just had a lot of melody...everybody was just having they good time... of course everybody was on drugs, but...( *laughs*), everybody was having a good time, all the records sounded like everybody was high..."

With an impressive list of writing credits already, The Dream is only just getting started. He carries himself as the full package, a writer, a singer, an artist, a musician, AND an infectiously funny personality. Not only is he talented beyond belief, but he's humble and like-able (something rarely found in the music business these days). With the big names in the industry already backing him and a sound thats incredibly catchy, The Dream is well on his way to making all of his come true, while proving his longevity in the process.
