Usher, whose full name is Usher Raymond IV, was born October 14, 1978. Usher and his family moved to Atlanta, Georgia when he was 12-years-old. Usher scored a huge hit in 2004 with the single "Yeah!" which reached #1 on the charts and stayed there for 12 weeks. Usher's very own single "Burn" would go on to replace "Yeah!" at #1, where it would stay for 8 weeks. Usher made Teen People magazine's reader-selected Power List in the second annual Young Hollywood issue. In addition to his phenomenal musical accomplishments, Usher is also co-owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After calling the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta his home for several years, in March of 2007 Usher paid just under $3.3 million for a two-story European-style mansion in the scenic town of Roswell, Georgia. This home offers six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, workout room, huge parking garage, plus a pool and spa. Roswell is located 20 miles north of Atlanta and has a population of approximately 80,000.
