On October 14, 1978 in Dallas, Texas Jonetta Patton brought Usher Terrence Raymond IV into the world. Known simply as Usher he was destined to conquer the R&B music scene. Usher took his first musical steps at the local church with the youth choir in Chattanooga, where he grew up. After joining a singing group his family realized his musical potential and moved to Atlanta, Georgia in order for the young singer to pursue a musical career.
At the young age of eleven, the talented youngster joined a music group called the “NuBeginnings” with whom he released the album “Nubeginning Featuring Usher Raymond IV” in 1991. The album was available regionally and by mail order at the time and re-released nationally in 2002 by Hip-O Records. Usher however, did not remain in the group, considered a “bad experience” by his mother. Two years later, Usher competed on the talent show “Star Search” which brought him in contact with a representative of LaFace Records. This contact ultimately led to a contract with the label. Usher then recorded his introductory track “Call Me a Mack” for the soundtrack of a drama-romance film, “Poetic Justice” in 1993. A year later the artist released his debut album, “Usher”, which peaked at number 25 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album was promoted by the singles; “Can U Get Wit It”, “Think of You”, and “The Many Ways”. Between his first and second album Usher recorded “Let's Straighten It Out” a duet with Monica, he appeared on LaFace's 1996 Olympic Games benefit album “Rhythm of the Games” and sang “I Swear I'm In Love” for the soundtrack of the movie “Kazaam” in 1996.

Preceding the release of his third studio album, “All about U”, “Pop Ya Collar” was released as the album’s first single but as the single did not have the anticipated success and a few tracks had leaked the album was stalled in order to be modified. The album eventually hit the stands as “8701” producing the singles “U Remind Me” and “U Got It Bad” both of which topped the Billboard Hot 100. “U Remind Me” earned the artist the Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance an award Usher won the following year as well for the track “U Don't Have to Call” making Usher the third artist to win this award two years in a row, the two previous being Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder.
