Did you know that before launching his own solo career, Ne-Yo was once a member of a boy band and was notoriously booed at the Apollo?
Prior to become a noted songwriter and solo act, Ne-Yo started his career as a member of Envy – an R&B quartet in which he operated using the alias GoGo. However, the band disbanded in 2000 and he was quickly signed to Columbia Records before being dropped and then picked up by Def Jam via the guidance of Jay-Z.
