What Record Label Is Usher Currently Signed To? Complete Record Label History
Usher is currently signed to mega3 ENTERTAINMENT, a record label he founded in partnership with L.A. Reid in 2023. This marks a significant shift in his music career, as he previously had long-standing relationships with other major labels.
Before this current deal, Usher was signed to RCA Records from 2012 to 2023. His time at RCA saw the release of several successful projects, including the album "Looking 4 Myself" and various hit singles.
Earlier in his career, Usher was famously associated with LaFace Records and later Arista Records. His breakthrough came when he signed with LaFace Records at age 13, where he worked closely with L.A. Reid and Babyface. During this period, he released his self-titled debut album "Usher" in 1994.
When LaFace Records merged with Arista Records in 2000, Usher continued his successful run, releasing some of his biggest albums including "Confessions" (2004), which became one of the best-selling albums of the 2000s.
Here's a chronological breakdown of Usher's record label history:
- LaFace Records (1993-2000) - Arista Records (2000-2011) - RCA Records (2012-2023) - mega3 ENTERTAINMENT (2023-present)
Throughout these label changes, Usher has maintained his status as one of R&B's most successful artists, selling over 65 million records worldwide and winning numerous awards, including eight Grammy Awards.
His current venture with mega3 ENTERTAINMENT represents a new chapter where he has more creative control and ownership over his music, while still maintaining his relationship with longtime mentor L.A. Reid.
