A SEX SYMBOL
|
No doubt you've seen Usher, the R&B singing sensation and sex symbol- and likely throngs of swooning young girls were at his feet, his shirt doffed off to expose his muscular frame.

Upon moving to Atlanta, Usher began participating in various local talent shows. It was at one such exhibition, in 1992, that he was spotted by Bryant Reid, brother of Antonio "L.A." Reid, the famed R&B producer and co-president (with Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds) of LaFace Records. Bryant arranged for Usher to audition for his brother, and the popular producer was immediately taken with the young singer's precocious talent. Legend has it that Reid offered Usher a contract on the spot.

HIM AND TV
|
TV has been kind to him. In addition to numerous appearances on programs like The Oprah Winfrey Show, Usher has also been a recurring character on the syndicated TV show Moesha, which stars pop songstress Brandy. Usher appeared on several episodes as Jeremy Davis, a boarding-school student romantically involved with the show's totle character. "I'm happy that I had a chance to show myself as an actor," Usher recently told San Fracisco Chronicle, "because eventually I will get up into acting, wether it be a dance movie, romance, action- whatever- I'll be doing it."
