He first gained recognition for his songwriting abilities after having written Mario's 2004 single \"Let Me Love You\", the success of which led to a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings under then-president Jay-Z the next year. Regarded as a preeminent figure in 2000s R&B music, he is the recipient of numerous accolades—including three Grammy Awards."
