Challenging himself creatively and testing musical boundaries are characteristics that have defined Ur’s career since he was first discovered 20 years ago on “Star Search.” Ur has been ranked by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the best-selling artists in American music history, having sold over 65 million albums worldwide. He has won numerous awards, including eight GRAMMY® Awards, and was named the #1 Hot 100 artist of the 2000s decade. Billboard named him the second most successful artist of the 2000s decade, with his career-propelling 2004 album “Confessions” being ranked as the top solo album of the 2000s decade. Ur has attained nine Hot 100 #1 hits (all as a lead artist) and 18 Hot 100 top 10 singles.
2020 continues to be a busy year for Ur. Musically, he recently released the single “Don’t Waste My Time,” which hit #1 on Billboard’s R&B chart, as well as “I Cry,” a powerful and emotional song about the social and racial injustices of our time. Ur is currently in the studio recording his ninth studio album which will be released in late 2020.
Realizing that with success comes responsibility, Ur has also proven to be a major philanthropic force. Founded in 1999, Ur’s New Look, Inc. empowers youth from impoverid communities to become leaders.
