Singer/songwriter/producer The Dream can now add label executive to his title, as he been named Vice President of Island Def Jam Music Group.

The Dream, born Terius Nash, made the announcement today (August 27) via his official Twitter page.

"I wanna thank everyone at Island Records/DefJam for their faith in me and making me Executive Vice President of Island Records," The Dream said in a statement on his Twitter page. "Thank you to my team..my manager Mark Stewart & my attorney Aaron Rosenberg for getting this 1st step of a goal accomplished."

He went on to thank a number of inudstry executives who have supported him, including his production partner Tricky Stewart and Island Def Jam Chairman, Antonio "L.A." Reid and Universal Records' Chairman Doug Morris.

"I look forward to the challenge of rebuilding music for not only Island Records But for Universal Records as a whole. Today I'm humbled and blessed," The Dream said.

For reasons unknown, The Dream also revealed today would be the last day he posted to his Twitter page, although no reason was given.

The news comes during a high point in the 30-year-old's career.

Last week, it was confirmed that The Dream and his girlfriend Christina Milian applied for a marriage license in Los Angeles.

The pair are expected to tie the knot within the next 90 days.

The Dream was married once before, singer/songwriter Nivea, but divorced her in 2007.

Wow !! All those Vets on Def Jam better get the f**k off. This is gonna be even worse than Jay's tenure. Artist acting like label heads are the worse. What type of executive decision has this guy made that qualifies him that position ? Def Jam now reminds me of that BET episode on the Boondocks.

@HOT97
Now that is the b***h I love to hate! Exactly why you need some home training or shall I say some Slut-Training. When you coming to get your training girl, we need to fix your foul ass mouth, nothing that a little instruction in the fine art of cocksucking can't fix!

Dream is a bum???? He wrote half the s**ton radio(Neo wrote the other half). Good move in a long time for Def Jam. If Jim Jones can do it why not dream.

I like the Dream a lot, but giving him such a big job when he's young and inexperienced as an executive.....i don't get it.
