GRAMMY award-winning Usher Raymond IV is an American R&B singer.
Usher first surfaced in 1994 with his self-titled debut album and instantly earned the hearts of many fans, young and old, male and female, with his powerful voice, charming smile, adorable baby face and electrifying performances.
This album was co-executive-produced by Sean “Puffy” Combs (Bad Boy Entertainment) and yielded one gold top ten hit, “Think of You”, produced by label mate Donell Jones, which introduced Usher to the world.

Hire Usher to entertain at your special event!
Antonio “L.A.” Reid describes Usher as “the ultimate entertainer” and attributes much of that to his “great voice, fashionable looks, and superstar presence.” Dubbing him “the king of hip-hop soul,” Reid explains, “There hasn’t been an artist with this much excitement in many years. Usher makes a serious contribution to urban culture.”
Hire Usher for a memorable evening of special entertainment!
Much of Usher’s level-headed attitude and responsibility come from strong family values and a good, old-fashioned church upbringing. Raised by his mother, who also manages him, he and his little brother moved to Atlanta from Tennessee when Usher was 12.
Usher started singing in the church choir under the direction of – who else but – his mom, who was also the choir director. “I’ve learned that this business is very demanding and stressful, but my mother’s been a great teacher. She keeps me grounded.”
Once in Atlanta, Usher started entering local talent shows, where he was spotted by a LaFace Records representative and was asked to audition for L.A. Reid. Soon after that, Usher was signed to the label and began recording his debut album.
He joined forces with several of the industry’s top male artists to form Black Men United to record the gold single “You Will Know,” featured on the “Jason’s Lyric” soundtrack. His single “Dreaming'” was the first release off LaFace Records’ 1996 Olympic Album “Rhythm of the Games“, and he did a duet on Arista recording artist Monica‘s debut platinum album, remaking the hit “Let’s Straighten It Out.”

“You Make Me Wanna,” re-established Usher as one of R&B’s hottest artists and also made him a crossover sensation; it topped the R&B charts for 11 weeks, hit number two pop, and eventually went double platinum. Both of the follow-up singles, “Nice & Slow” and “My Way,” also went platinum; the former stayed at number one on the R&B charts for eight weeks and became his first number one pop single.
