Usher, whose full name is Usher Terry Raymond IV, was born on October 14, 1978, in Dallas, Texas. His enticing lyrics and stunning vocals helped him become a rhythm-and-blues phenomenon in the late 1990s.
While growing up in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Usher participated in talent shows and sang in church choirs in an effort to break into the mainstream music industry. He moved to Atlanta with his mother and sibling when he was 12 years old. He signed a recording contract with LaFace Records two years later.
Usher released his debut album in 1994 as a 15-year-old performer with a voice that belied his training as a choirboy. It’s merely a sexual thing, he said on the slow-groove song “Can U Get With It.”

Does Usher have full custody of his sons?
The 33-year-old singer was granted primary custody of Usher Raymond V, 4, and Naviyd, 3, as a result of a Georgia judge’s ruling. Kile, Tameka’s 11-year-old ex-kid, boyfriend’s had sadly died in a jet ski accident only a few weeks before.
