Usher Raymond was born October 14, 1978 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. At the age of six he began singing in his church’s choir.

In 1994, he released his self-titled album Usher, at the young age of fifteen. Audiences fell in love with the young boy’s smooth dance moves and melodic voice. He became an instant teenage heartthrob.
