Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ne-Yo[/lastfm] recently made a huge career move by accepting a new deal and position at Motown Records. Not only did he ink a new record deal, but he was also appointed  senior VP of  the A&R department.

According to BET [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ne-Yo[/lastfm] stated:

“I’m honored that I’ve been given such a prestigious title and trusted with such responsibility; terrified because I know that playing this role in the fashion of one of my career role models, Mr. Smokey Robinson — these are big shoes to fill,” said Ne-Yo. “But trust, I can handle it.”

Being that [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ne-Yo[/lastfm] is a true master of his craft I’m sure he will over exceed his expectations of his new position.
