At the age of thirteen the young artist came to the Star Search show - his performances on the competition brought him the contract with LaFace Records, later his single Call Me A Mack entered the soundtrack of the Poetic Justice film. In Atlanta Asher attended the prestigious North Springs Charter School Of Arts And Sciences. Usher's mother and father decided that the big city would give more opportunities for the growing gift of their child - and were right.
During the school study, Usher also took part in different talent competitions and his parents moved to Atlanta, Georgia. When the boy found out his talent for singing, he joined the local church choir. Usher Raymond IV, known all over the globe as simple Usher, was born and brought up in the town of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
