According to Wikipedia:

"Ne-Yo was born in Camden, Arkansas. His father is of African American and Chinese descent,[2][notes 1] and his mother is African-American. Both his parents were musicians. As a young child, he was raised by his mother after she separated from his father.[3] In hopes of better opportunity, his mother relocated the family to Las Vegas, Nevada.

While in the Las Vegas Academy, Smith adopted the stage name "GoGo" and joined an R&B group called Envy, who appeared during amateur night on Showtime at the Apollo[4] and on the MTV's The Cut[5] (hosted by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC).[6] The group disbanded in 2000, and Smith continued to write songs for other artists before starting his solo career. The stage name "Ne-Yo" was coined by Big D Evans, a producer with whom Ne-Yo once worked,[7] because Evans claimed that Ne-Yo sees music as Neo sees the matrix.[8] "
