5 Questions for Trey Songz on His New Charity, ‘Angels with Heart’

You know Trey Sonz for his club bangers and baby-making soundtracks, but you may not know the VA-native has a huge heart. After fans showered him with gifts while he was on tour, Trey channeled their giving-spirit and created Angels With Heart, a charity he started to lend a helping hand to those in need.

ESSENCE.com recently chatted with Trey about his Angels With Heart benefit concert, the importance of giving, and why he’s one of the hardest working men in R&B today.

ESSENCE.com: You’re hosting a benefit concert for your charity, Angels With Heart. What made you want to start a charity?

TREY SONGZ: I have “Trey’s Angels” who are my fan club and when I was on tour my fans were giving me a lot of gifts. I had the idea to have them to channel that [giving] toward people that need it. So, I did a video clip on my iPhone and I asked my Angels to donate to people in their area and commit random acts of kindness in their community. The feedback that I got was amazing. They would send videos back with them at homeless shelters, feeding the elderly, tutoring kids. It made me realize what power I had that could be used for good.
