Who is his father Usher?
Famous American singer-songwriter Usher was born in Dallas, Texas USA, under the zodiac sign Libra on 14 October 1978. He’s released nine albums and one collaborative album, while nine of his singles have topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart; all of his albums together have sold more than 80 million copies worldwide, making Usher one of the best-selling artists of all time.
He grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee alongside his younger half-brother James Lackey, born in 1984; the boys were raised by their mother Jonetta Patton and James’ father. Usher’s biological father Usher Raymond III abandoned the family after Usher turned one.
He fell in love with music when he began singing with a church choir; the family eventually moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where Usher attended North Springs High School, matriculating in 1997.
Usher’s journey into the music industry began at a young age; at just 13, he signed a contract with LaFace Records, thanks to an introduction by Puff Daddy. His self-titled debut album was released in 1994 when he was only 15 years old and despite his youth, the album showcased his amazing vocal abilities and garnered attention with songs “Can U Get Wit It” and “Think of You”, however, it was his second album “My Way”, released in 1997, that truly launched him to stardom. It featured the hit single “Nice & Slow”, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, solidifying Usher’s position in the music industry. The album also included the hit song “You Make Me Wanna”, which earned him his first Grammy nomination.

The year 2001 marked an important moment in Usher’s career, with the release of his third studio album “8701”, featuring the critically acclaimed single “U Remind Me”, which won him his first Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. Another hit from the album “U Got It Bad” further showcased Usher’s ability to blend emotional vocals with catchy melodies.
It was Usher’s fourth studio album “Confessions” that became a cultural phenomenon; it explored themes of love, infidelity and personal growth, reflecting Usher’s own experiences at the time. The single “Yeah!”, featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris became a hit, dominating charts and clubs around the world. “Confessions Part II” and “Burn” further solidified the album’s success, making it one of the best-selling R&B albums of all time.
Continuing his success, Usher released his fifth album “Here I Stand” in 2008, showcasing his growth both as an artist and as an individual. The album included hits such as “Love in This Club” and “Trading Places”, showcasing a more mature sound while maintaining his signature style; despite positive reviews, “Here I Stand” didn’t quite reach the same commercial heights as “Confessions”.
Usher’s sixth album “Raymond v. Raymond” came out in 2010, and explored themes of heartbreak and personal issues; the album’s lead single “OMG” featured will.i.am, and became a chart-topping success. The singles “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love” and “More” further contributed to the album’s success, earning Usher critical acclaim and additional Grammy nominations.
His seventh album “Looking 4 Myself” was released in 2012 and showcased Usher’s willingness to experiment with different genres, incorporating elements of electronic dance music (EDM) and dubstep. The album’s lead single, “Climax” demonstrated Usher’s ability to adapt to changing musical landscapes while maintaining his original style.
In 2016, he released his eighth studio album “Hard II Love”, which featured singles “No Limit” and “Crash”, blending contemporary R&B with elements of hip-hop. Although the album received positive reviews, it didn’t achieve the same level of commercial success as some of Usher’s earlier works.
He’s currently recording his ninth studio album “Coming Home”, set to be released in February 2024.
Usher’s also made a mark as an actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist; his involvement in various charitable causes, including his work with Usher’s New Look Foundation, reflects his commitment to giving back to the community.
Usher’s been married twice, first to Tameka Foster, with whom he has two sons, and later to Grace Miguel in 2015, with the marriage ending in a divorce in 2018; he started dating American music executive Jenn Goicoechea in October 2019 and she gave birth to their daughter on 24 September 2020, while their second child followed on 29 September 2021.
