David Usher - Biography: Contact David Usher Today!

David Usher (born on April 24, 1966) is an English-born rock singer-songwriter who lived for numerous years in Montreal, Québec, but recently moved to New York, New York. He was the former frontman of the Canadian band Moist until further embarking on a solo career of his own. He was born in Oxford, England to a Thai Buddhist and a Jewish Montrealer, Dan Usher, who is an economist at Queen's University. He has relocated to Malaysia, New York, California and Thailand since early childhood before his family settled in Kingston, Ontario. He attended high school at Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute. Attending university in Burnaby, British Columbia at Simon Fraser University, Usher joined the Canadian rock band Moist in 1993 and their 1994 debut release, Silver, went quadruple-platinum in Canada. As the lead singer of the band, he shot to stardom in his native country with his soulful voice and vaguely exotic good looks. After releasing their multi-platinum follow-up, Creature, in 1996, he took some time during the band's hiatus to record his debut solo album, Little Songs, released in 1998. After recording the album Mercedes 5 and Dime with his band Moist, he revived his solo career again, releasing the highly successful Morning Orbit in the summer 2001. In 2003, he released another solo album entitled Hallucinations, which matched the amount of major label albums he had recorded with Moist. In 2005, he surpassed that number with the release of If God Had Curves. The album had a resemblance to his first solo effort Little Songs, as it is dominantly an acoustic album.
