About Usher
Usher Raymond IV was born October 14, 1978 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He began singing in the church choir at the age of six under the direction of his mother, Jonnetta Patton. A single mom, Jonnetta raised Usher and his younger brother, James, in Chattanooga before relocating her family to Atlanta when Usher was twelve. With Jonnetta's guidance, Usher performed at local talent events. It was in this venue in 1992 that Usher gained the notice of Bryant Reid, brother of Antonio "LA" Reid, famed R&B producer and co-president of LaFace Records. An audition with LA was arranged, and a record deal was soon in the works. At the age of fourteen, Usher found himself recording his debut album. After graduating from North Springs high school, Usher recorded his second album. The single "You Make Me Wanna" skyrocketed to number 2 on Billboard's R&B charts, second only to the sentimental favorite of the time, Elton John's Candle in the Wind. Usher's third album, "8701," earned the artist two Grammy awards. He was chosen as one of Teen People Magazine's "21 Hottest Stars Under 21." Usher's three-year relationship with Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas of TLC ended in 2004. In 2005 he appeared in the movie In The Mix.
