About USHER

As one of the best-selling artists in music history, with an illustrious three-decade career and over 80 million records sold worldwide, Usher's impact on the industry is undeniable.

As the founding chairman of the New Look Foundation, the organization has served over 55,000 youth around the world through education and mentorship.
