Bringing R&B;a dose of class and elegance, Ne-Yo first hit the big time with the release of his multi-million selling, world-wide smash debut album “In My Own Words” in 2006. The first single off the album “So Sick” debuted at number one on the Billboard Chart and became a hit across the world. He followed this up with the sophomore album “Because Of You”, and then took swagger to the next level on his Grammy nominated album “Year Of The Gentleman” in 2008. Not only has Ne-Yo had huge success in his own right, but he has also written smash hits for a plethora of artists including Rihanna, Mario, Janet Jackson and of course one of the highest selling singles of 2006/2007 “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce. Ne-Yo’s exclusive Australian performance at Winterbeatz will see him sing his hits “Closer”, “Miss Independent”, “Because Of You”, “So Sick”, “When You’re Mad”, “Sexy Love” and more.

In the winter of 2005, southern soulster T-Pain burst on the rhythmic scene with his debut “Rappa Ternt Sanga” and things just ain’t been the same since! Signing to Akon’s Konvict Music Label, T-Pain’s first album featured the hits “I’m Sprung”, and “I’m in Love with a Stripper”, which solidified his distinct and unique sound. 2007 saw him release the number one selling album “Epiphany” which featured “Bartender” featuring Akon and “Buy You A Drank”, and 2008 saw his third album “Thr33 Ringz” released which featured “Chopped and Skrewed” featuring Ludacris, “Freeze” featuring Chris Brown and “Can’t Believe It” featuring Lil Wayne. T-Pain has also provided signature hooks for some of the biggest urban tracks of the last 5 years including “Blame It” by Jamie Foxx, “Kiss Kiss” by Chris Brown, “Got Money” by Lil Wayne, and “Good Life” by Kanye West, which won him a Grammy.
