CHECK OUT OUR GIRL JORDAN...CLICK BELOW At one point, it really was all a dream. It all began in 1999 - Vincent Herbert and Debbie Hammond met at a recording studio while working on different artists. Debbie told Vincent she was looking for a female N'Sync or American Spice Girls. Vincent went on a search and found Judith Fontaine, a local Los Angeles talent scout that had been working on putting various groups together, but had no music. Judith had 2 sets of girls; one that was 18-19 years old, and the other 13-14 years old. The younger girls were called, "First Warning." the original members - alto Melissa Schuman, lead mezzos Holly Arnstein and Ashley Poole, and soprano Alex Chester. Vincent and Debbie put the girls in the studio and began working on an album, after securing the rights to the group from Fontaine. The girls had never been in a recording studio with a major producer, so Vincent had his work cut out for him. Not everyone could keep up the pace, and Alex was replaced with Diane Ortiz. Arrangements were made for the girls to all live together with the Arnsteins during the recording process. They were 13 and 14 years old. Debbie kept referring to the recording process and the group as the dream group, since it was going smoothly with Vincent. She advised that there was nothing scarey about the group, therefore, "First Warning" didn't seem like a suitable name. When Debbie tried to get the name DREAM secured, she ran into some trademark difficulties, and tracked down the original owner of the name. This gentleman put out mellow music that lured people to sleep. Debbie purchased the trademark right and secured it world wide. The group DREAM was officially born by the year 2000. Demo's went out to the CEO's of the major labels, and Sean Combs re routed his flight headed for Japan to get a personal audition. This took place in Debbie's hotel room in Beverly Hills. Diddy signed the girls on the spot! The groups first single, release He Loves U Not was handed to Diddy and Debbie at a showcase by none other than Clive Davis, himself! Clive said, "here honey, this is a hit song," to Debbie, pulling it out of his pocket and handing it to her as he left. The single was a worldwide hit, from the States to U.K. to Japan - Melissa, Diana, Ashley and Holly were launched into stardom. "He Loves U Not" kept enough momentum and peaked at 6 on the billboard hot 200 - upon releasing It Was All a Dream in January of 2001, the album debuted at 2 on the charts and went platinum within 6 weeks. The album was a hit, as well, and Dream was beginning to make history - on March 29, 2001, they became the first (and as of today, the only) girl group to retire a video at 65 days on MTV's TRL top 10 video countdown. Their second single from their debut album, "This Is Me," was released respectively, including a remix, that kept a momentum on radio and video until September of 2001. Though "This Is Me" and the remix with rapper Kain and Diddy remained on the sales charts for a year and a half, peaking at 1 on TRL - nearing the end of the 2001 summer, a third single, "In My Dreams," was released to radio (including a remix with rapper Bow Wow) for approximately 3 weeks - however, due to the tragedies of 9/11/01, the girls pulled back the single before a video was released, and implored their label and distrubution (at the time, Arista records) to release "When I Get There," a hit ballad from the album, as the third single instead. Arista was reluctant, and the process took weeks and involved everything from fan petitions to on and off radio releases - ultimately, a third single was not released. Nevertheless, anticipation for Dream's return did not fade away. Perhaps, until March 31st, 2002, when Dream fans discovered that Melissa Schuman (who was nabbing tons of attention from the group) was leaving read more

R&B; singer/songwriter Terius Youngdell Nash, better known as the-Dream, was born in Rockingham, NC, but moved down to Atlanta, GA, with his mother at the age of three. He first learned to play trumpet in elementary school, later picking up the drums and guitar. Nash's singing career got off to a slow start once he graduated from high school, but he found success in selling song lyrics after he met R&B; producer Laney Stewart in 2001. Stewart helped the-Dream land his first publishing contract in 2003 in light of his penning "Everything" for B2K's platinum 2002 album Pandemonium! Paired with producer Chris "Tricky" Stewart (Laney's brother), he continued to write songs for various artists over the next four years, such as the Britney Spears/Madonna duet "Me Against the Music." His watershed moment came when he and Tricky created Rihanna's 2007 international smash hit "Umbrella." Several labels began approaching him so he could churn out more hits for their artists, particularly Def Jam, Rihanna's label, which was reluctant to sign the singer/songwriter at first. Def Jam finally stopped dancing around the issue of signing on the-Dream after he sold number one R&B; single "Bed" to Capitol Records newcomer J. Holiday. In fall 2007, the-Dream released his first single, "Shawty Is the Shit" (known on radio as "Shawty Is a Ten"), on Def Jam, following up with his solo debut album, Love Me All Summer, Hate Me All Winter, at the end of the year. Even while recording his own material, he still managed to dish out more songs for a wide range of popular artists, including R. Kelly, Sting, Puddle of Mudd, Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion, and his wife, Nivea. read more

The only positive byproduct of an industry asleep at the wheel is a dream. With over a decade of hit-making experience and a certified smash in Rihanna's #1 single, "Umbrella" Terius "The-Dream" Nash is stepping from behind the scenes with a wake-up call. "Music is uninspiring right now" says the confident Atlanta native. "The bar needs to be raised; a creative standard should be set in music. I'm hoping that the real quality in these songs shines through, and leaves a sounding impact on the listeners." His debut CD, Love Hate, is a sonic gauntlet thrown down against complacent, cookie cutter music. Propelled by the first single "Shawty is a Ten," the mastermind behind the explosive J. Holiday single "Bed" will do nothing short of redefine R&B for 2007 and beyond. Born in North Carolina, Terius Nash was raised in the Bankhead section of Atlanta, Georgia. Before he found his calling in music, the industrious young man made ends meet doing everything from working at Checkers to becoming a collections agent. After graduating from H.S., Dream joined a singing group, Guess Who, signed by local rapper Raheem. They sang the hook to "Most Beautiful Girl," which became moderately successful. "It did pretty good, got a lot of spins," says Nash. A few years later, The-Dream began writings songs for up-and-coming rappers and hooks for his peers. He got his first publishing deal in 2003, when he signed to Peer Music after writing B2K's single, "Everything." The song, off B2K's platinum sophomore album, Pandemonium, truly put The-Dream on the map. "My grand daddy told me I would never make any money in this business. Music just wasn't a reality for him. I never knew until I was 21 or 22 that I could actually be successful in the music business." With one success under his belt, Terius began to build momentum and soon found himself associating with the upper echelons of pop stardom. "A year after B2K I did the Britney Spears and Madonna record," he begins. "I recorded vocals and wrote to that record after Tricky, the guy I did "Umbrella" with, decided he didn't want the track anymore. I was the new guy in the building so I stayed overnight running in and out the booth recording myself in Pro Tools. Tricky and a writer before me, Penelope, went up to N.Y. [to meet] Britney. They played a lot of songs and Britney was like, I dunno. Then they got to "Me Against the Music" and she was like, "Oh, I'm digging that. I love that hook!" Unfortunately, that song didn't push The-Dream to the level he wanted to reach. He spent two years working on other projects including Nivea's second album, which he executive produced. "Trick and I just started making records. By the time we got to 'Umbrella' we were like 'ok, we got it.'" Dream insisted that L.A Reid hear the song and the rest is history. Now The-Dream is finally in the building, combining all of his hit-making talents for his debut, Love Me All Summer, Hate Me All Winter. Throughout his career, Dream has seen people change like the weather, but in the coming months he is forecasting a 100% chance of reign. "It's more of what I'm giving other people. It's like the 80s; it's musical. I'm doing the 'Umbrella' routine to this whole album. All of my records are singles. The album is really visual as well. It appeals to all your senses, similar to 'Thriller'." Songs like the soulful "She Needs My Love" and "Falsetto" solidify Terius' status as a triple threat, singer, writer and producer. "Artists are gonna have to do some homework to find out who they are." (read less) read more
