Usher

Usher was born in Dallas, Texas. But he grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He now lives in Atlanta, Georgia. 21 year old Usher was born on October 14 1978, he first blew onto the music scene in 1994 while he was just 14 years old. He bought us a mixture of slow love songs on his first album titled Usher. Puff Daddy dicovered Ushers talents and produced his first album for him. Although he was only 14 at the time Puffy took him to late nite clubs without his mothers permission. His mother was not very happy with the fact that he was ignoring his school life and hangin around with big celebs. But he got himself a tutor and graduated high school when he was 17. His career took a few years off because he had a bad case of acne but he then blew back onto the music scene in 1997 with ''You Make Me Wanna'' an up beat song that talks about him wanting to be with his friend but him already having a girlfriend.. It stormed to No 1 all over the world and sent him 2 multi national fame.

His second album titled ''My Way'' was a great success to. It contained the hit '' Nice N Slow'' and ''My Way'', both great songs that reflects Ushers talents.. Also he dueted with Lil Kim on the song '' Just Like Me'' a song that was pretty cool and shows how Usher has a great range of songs. He does not have a girlfriend at the moment but he claimes that he once dated Brandy and Monica. I had an email saying that Usher does have a girlfriend called Karon and she lives in Atlanta, and attends the college where Usher is quite often seen at giving out autographs but he wants in kept on the down low! Usher has 2 tatoos, one on his calf which is a tribal pattern and one on his left arm with a picture of his name and a sword going through it..
