Usher has signed with CAA, adding another powerhouse to his long-standing career infrastructure. He continues to be managed by Laffitte Management Group, with PR handled by The Chamber Group in the U.S. and August Agency in Europe/UK.

The R&B superstar currently has over 42 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with his largest streaming markets spanning London, São Paulo, Quezon City, Sydney, and Jakarta—evidence of his global resonance that extends far beyond the U.S.

His last release was the 2024 album Coming Home, distributed via Gamma, which coincided with a career-defining Super Bowl LVIII halftime show that earned wide acclaim for blending decades of hits with high-production spectacle. The same year, Usher launched his Past Present Future Tour, his first global arena run in nearly a decade, selling out major venues across North America and Europe.

On the festival circuit, Usher has delivered standout sets at major events such as Essence Festival, Global Citizen Festival, and Lovers & Friends in Las Vegas, further underscoring his dual impact as both a touring draw and cultural figure.

Across his career, Usher has sold more than 80 million records worldwide, won 8 Grammy Awards, and influenced an entire generation of R&B and pop artists. His catalog—from Confessions to Yeah! to his latest projects—has given him rare longevity in both recorded music and live performance.
