Usher is booked and busy! Indeed, the reigning King of R&B continues to enjoy a layered career that sees no two days serve up the same – be that the task or location.

As such, the performer has been aptly tapped to star in a new commercial for Uber Reserve – which allows customers to pre-book rides up to 30 days before.

In the clip, Usher invites viewers onboard his chaotic day: from photoshoots to interviews to dad life. All of which is made easier by Uber Reserve.

Speaking on the partnership, the icon said:

“Between life as a father of four, rehearsals, and adding even more shows to my Las Vegas residency, I understand the importance of planning ahead to make sure things go ‘My Way.’ Using Uber Reserve to book my rides ahead of time gives me one less thing to worry about. It’s the perfect harmony of ‘Usher’ and ‘Uber.’”
