Usher Biography

Usher Raymond IV, better known as Usher, is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and dancer whose impact on the music industry spans more than three decades. He made his debut in 1994 with his self-titled album, “Usher”, at age 16, but it was his second album, “My Way”, that brought him widespread recognition in the late 1990s. His third album, “8701”, earned him two Grammy Awards and sold eight million copies worldwide, while his 2004 album “Confessions” solidified his status as one of the decade’s best-selling artists, producing four consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles. To date, Usher has sold 33 million albums and 87.5 million digital songs in the United States and 150 million records worldwide.

Beyond music, Usher has appeared on television shows including “The Twilight Zone”, “7th Heaven”, and “American Dreams”, acted in films such as “In the Mix” (2005), and starred on Broadway as Billy Flynn in the 2006 revival of “Chicago”. His live performances include the 2009 “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration” at the Lincoln Memorial, a 12-show residency at the Colosseum at Caesars’ Palace in 2021, and his upcoming headline performance at the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show.

A committed philanthropist, Usher founded the non-profit organization Usher’s New Look, launched initiatives like Our Block in New Orleans, and Project Restart, which assisted over 700 families affected by Hurricane Katrina. His humanitarian efforts have earned him the Freedom Award from the National Civil Rights Museum and the Candle Award from Morehouse College. Usher is also an entrepreneur, with ventures including the health-science and wellness company Liquid I.V., exemplifying his multifaceted career and dedication to making an impact both on and off the stage.
