Record producer, songwriter, and singer Terius Nash turned 41 today, but many of you may know him as The Dream.
The Atlanta super producer is responsible for some of todays biggest hits from artists such as Britney Spears to Jay-Z with a career and accolades stretching over a decade.
The Dream came on to the scene in 2001 as a writer, under the name Nash, after having written Everything on B2Ks album Pandemonium which also gained the artist his first publishing deal.
Over time, the producer would prove to be a songwriting powerhouse in the music industry while occasionally dropping vocals on the hooks to some of your favorite songs.
In honor of The Dreams birthday, The Shadow League takes a look back at some of the artists greatest projects, you may or may not have known he was a part of.
