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. His groundbreaking albums, including My Way and Confessions, have shattered records and earned him numerous accolades, including eight GRAMMY(R) Awards. In 2024, Usher's trailblazing journey continued with his headlining performance at the Apple Music halftime show for Super Bowl LVIII and the release of his highly anticipated ninth album, COMING HOME, which marked his debut as an independent artist.

Usher's impact extends far beyond the realm of music. As the founding chairman of the New Look Foundation, the organization has served over 55,000 youth around the world through education and mentorship. His commitment to philanthropy and social activism has earned him widespread recognition, including the NAACP's 2010 Ford Freedom Award Scholar and the prestigious Morehouse College Candle Award in 2014.
