Usher made a mark on music like no other and now it seems like the stage blazer is looking to scorch on with a new business venture alongside none other than L.A. Reid.
Full story below…
The pair already have an illustrious success record during their respective stints at Arista Records – Ush as the Diamond-selling ‘Confessions’ hitmaker and Reid as the imprint’s then-President.
In more recent years, the duo veered off onto different terrain. However, it looks like a love for music and carving out a unique experience for artists moving forward has reunited the powerful entities.
During an appearance on Angie Martinez‘s IRL podcast, Usher revealed that he and Reid are working on what appears to be a record label and more.
He told the veteran host:
“Me and L.A. Reid are working together. We hadn’t been working together for a very long time. To be able to be back in each other’s lives [is great]. I feel he has been a viable commodity to so many people in so many industries. And so many incredible entities. But now to be able to come together and have ownership in what we’re building for our future [is awesome].”
When Martinez asked whether the pair are prepping a label? Usher replied:
“It’s gonna be that and then some.”
Exciting times!
Check out the interview:
Usher all smiles about the new label. Hopefully it stay that way.
Hopefully it’s a lot better than US Records. People don’t remember One Chance. I still listen to their unreleased stuff. One of the members was cool enough to send me a solo track he did. They deserved better.
