Raymond Usher is born at Dallas, in Texas, the 14 of October 1978. He's a hip-pop singer and dancer. Usher Terry Raymond began singing when he was six years old. The family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, when Usher was 12 years old. Upon moving to Atlanta, Usher began participating in various local talent shows. It was at one such exhibition, in 1992, that he was spotted by Bryant Reid, the famous R&B producer. The record, which was co-executive-pro0duced by Reid, generated the minor hit "Think of You". Usher was only 14 when he worked on the album. As a result, the producers brought in several vocal coaches in order to help him complete the record. After graduating from high school, he entered the studio to record his effort, "My Way", of So So Def Records, and was released in October of 1997, around the time of Usher's 19th birthday. The record was already highly anticipated based on the success of its first hit single, "You Make Me Wanna", an impassioned love song in the classic R&B tradition. The song was a big boom for Usher, that was or near the top of Billboard's R&B singles chart from the moment of its release, and it eventually spent co.nsiderable time in the # 2 position on the pop singles chart. The success of "My Way" proved that the teenage had won over the hearts of legions of listeners. It also illustrated the artistic maturation he had undergone since he began recording. This time around, Usher wrote his own songs, penning five of the album's nine tracks. The remaining four songs were contributed by such R&B heavyweights as Babyface. Usher spent six months living at Dupri's house while recording the album; the time together, he says, helped them understand each other, and helped Dupri realize the genuine growth Usher was experiencing in his life. "My Way" yielded a second smash, "Nice & Slow", that also put a chokehold on the singles charts upon its release, and the video for the song garnered a fair share of critical acclaim. Shot by famed hip-hop director Hype William, the video, which was filmed in Paris, features a dramatic romantic storyline that almost rivals the song itself. Here is one of his songs, More:
