Usher Biography
After being spotted by a La Face record executive at a talent
show in his hometown of Atlanta, it took no time for Usher Raymond's
career to take off. The 14-year-old auditioned for La Face co-founder
L.A. Reid, who signed the gospel choir boy to a recording contract.
Raymond was introduced to the world simply as Usher, and released his
debut album of the same name in 1994, which featured co-executive
producer Sean Puffy Combs. The first single, Think of You, gained
Usher notoriety and reached gold status. From that initial exposure,
Usher was approached to do other projects. In 1995, he recorded a
national holiday jingle for Coca-Cola. He also joined several top male
R&B vocalists to form Black Men United for the single You Will
Know, featured on the Jason's Lyric soundtrack. He also teamed with
teen singing sensation Monica for a duet remake of Latimore's Let's
Straighten It Out.
After graduating from high school, Usher released his sophomore album,
My Way, in 1997. In an attempt to display his maturity and songwriting
abilities, Usher co-wrote six of the nine songs and enlisted the help
of producers Jermaine Dupri, Babyface, and, again, Combs. The album's
first single, 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. In the meantime, Usher launched an acting
career, appearing in the 1998 horror spoof The Faculty and the 1999
urban high-school drama Light It Up.
To tide fans over, he issued a concert recording titled simply Live in
1999. Usher returned with his third proper album, All About U, toward
the end of 2000. His third album, 8701 (2001), moved him from a teen
pop star to a sultry R&B singer. In early 2004, Arista released the
single Yeah! Produced by Lil Jon and guesting Ludacris, the
addictive, lightly crunk cut fast became a club and radio favorite. By
the time the Usher full-length Confessions dropped later that March,
Yeah! had hit the top of the Billboard charts. The album itself was
Usher's most mature work to date and won the Grammy for Best
Contemporary R&B Album in 2004 while Yeah! took home the best
rapped/sung collaboration award. ~ Lynda Lane, All Music Guide
