Usher has changed music, culture and countless lives as the multiple Grammy Award-winning, diamond-selling, international icon, actor, dancer, entrepreneur and philanthropist.

Three decades into his record-breaking, culture-shifting career, the multifaceted superstar is still carving new pathways in music, fashion, philanthropy, entrepreneurship and live performance.

Beyond selling more than 80 million records worldwide and collecting dozens of awards, Usher has simultaneously lit up the small screen on NBC‘s “The Voice” and the big screen in blockbusters such as Hustlers.

Three-time Grammy Award winning superstar Victoria Monet has been steadily blazing her path in music for more than a decade. Recently nominated for five BET Awards, 2024 has been a breakthrough year for Monet with her long-awaited debut album, Jaguar II.
