| Usher Raymond IV Country : U.S.A Date of Born: : 14 October 1978 City: : Chattanooga, Tennessee Info: Usher (Usher Raymond IV) was born on 14 October 1978 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. Drawn from LaFace Records' seemingly inexhaustible wellspring of young R&B acts, Usher is one of the few who can boast of real star quality and staying power. He moved to Atlanta with his family when he was 12. Usher started singing in the church choir (led by his mom Jonetta Patton) when he was six years old. When Usher was 14 he was spotted at a talent show by a record exec. from LaFace Records. Eventually the company signed the young singer while he was still in high school. 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. His 2000 comeback single "Pop Ya Collar", co-written with husband-and-wife team Kevin She'kspere Briggs and Kandi, was a surprising failure in America. Usher was more successful in the UK, where the single debuted at number 2 in February 2001. Usher returned with his third proper album, All About U, toward the end of 2000. He returned to the top of the US charts in July with "U Remind Me", which premiered the transatlantic hit album 8701. His album 8701 (2001) moved him from a teen pop star to a sultry R&B singer. The single "U Got It Bad" also reached the number 1 position in 2002, and helped complete Usher's transition from teen pop star to R&B bestseller. |
