About Usher
Usher is an American singer, songwriter and dancer whose childhood moved from Dallas to Chattanooga and then Atlanta. Local singing competitions preceded his self-titled debut album in 1994. My Way brought a wider audience in 1997, followed by 8701 in 2001. Songs such as U Remind Me, U Got It Bad and U Don't Have to Call became central to that early-2000s phase of his R&B career.
