Sovereign Bo Raymond- Professional Career
Her father Usher has always been a force in the music industry. He’s worked in a variety of musical genres, including R&B, blues, and pop. Following Usher (1994), his second album, My Way, was released in 1997. The album, which included the hits “Nice & Slow” and “You Make Me Wanna?” catapulted the young musician to popularity, selling over 7 million copies. Usher was soon praised for his smooth voice and catchy melodies. He was also noted for including sexual overtones in his songs, performances, and music videos.
Usher released Usher Live in 1999, followed by 8701 in 2001, which featured the No. 1 single “U Got It Bad,” as well as two Grammy Award-winning singles, “U Remind Me” and “U Don’t Have to Call.” 8701 sold almost 4 million copies in the United States alone.
Usher’s fourth studio album, Confessions (2004), was released over a decade after his first. The album sold over a million copies in its first week, and sales totaled around 20 million copies worldwide. “Burn,” “Confessions Part II,” and “Yeah!”—a collaboration with Ludacris and Lil Jon—were among the songs on the album.
Usher had an exceptionally outstanding track record by this point: he had 13 Top 20 hits, seven of which were No. 1 singles. At the Billboard Music Awards in 2004, he was named “Artist of the Year.” He won two People’s Choice Awards and three Grammy Awards a year later (best contemporary R&B album, best R&B performance by a duo or group, and best rap/sung collaboration).
Usher won two more Grammys after the release of Raymond v. Raymond (2010), for best contemporary R&B album (Raymond v. Raymond) and best male R&B performance (“There Goes My Baby”). Among other achievements, the singer has received 17 Billboard Music Prizes, eight Soul Train Music Awards, five Grammy Awards, and nine awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.
He produced the album Looking 4 Myself, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s albums chart in June 2012.
