Ne-Yo 

He's written hits for the biggest names in pop. Now, bored with R&B, Ne-Yo's making his boldest artistic move yet. If anything can define the multi-talented 28-year-old is the determination to wear more than one hat. He is doing just that with his newest release. "Year of the Gentleman". Ne-Yo plans to expand his core audience with forays into movies and television—and maybe even a cartoon.

Order this copy of Billboard to read about the exciting plans Ne-Yo has this "Year".
