Usher found himself with a record contract with LaFace Records after performing on Star Search. In 1994, the Atlanta native released his first album Usher at age 15. He would soon become known for his polished vocals and broad vocal range.

Three years later, he would release his second album, My Way. The singles “Nice & Slow” and “You Make Me Wanna” throttled the aspiring musician into the limelight, selling more than 7 million copies when he was just 19 years old.
