In 1994, at just 15 years old, Usher Raymond IV, more commonly known as Usher, rose to fame after releasing his first album. Earning more money than most teens, Raymond could have easily splurged on expensive things like clothes and jewelry, but he says he chose a different path. "Surprisingly, I was never frivolous with my spending," Raymond tells CNBC Make It. "It wasn't until my latter years that I decided to buy cars and jewelry and things that would obviously depreciate." His hope is that his children will follow in his footsteps and do the same.

"My child was diagnosed at six [years old]," says the mega-star, who recently partnered with Beyond Type 1, an advocacy group for diabetes awareness. Type 1 diabetes is traditionally seen as "the youth version of diabetes," says Kristian Hurley, senior vice president of programs, advocacy, & health equity at Beyond Type 1. "For me, it was a bit by trial and error but I had to go through the process," to learn more about the condition, Usher Raymond IV, more commonly known as Usher, tells CNBC Make It. 88% of adults with Type 1 diabetes needed emergency care to treat symptoms before and after their diagnosis, an additional survey conducted by Beyond Type 1 shows. Similarly, 44% of caregivers for people living with Type 1 diabetes say they spent at least $10,000 for their loved one's emergency care visits.

Now, some 30 years later, the R&B singer will perform in his first Super Bowl halftime show. “He is one of the greatest displays of showmanship that we have ever seen,” Nicolas-Tyrell Scott, a London-based music critic, told CNN. His debut album — “Usher,” released in 1994 — barely caught the media’s attention. Musician Usher (aka Usher Raymond IV) records vocals for the song "U Will Know" on July 26, 1994 in New York City. “He is the heartthrob of R&B,” Scott said.

It has taken perseverance, extraordinary musical gifts and a little luck for Usher to land where he is right now. At 45, the R&B singer and songwriter Usher Raymond is releasing his new album, “Coming Home,” just two days before he will headline the Super Bowl halftime show. His single “Good Good,” released last summer, has racked up tens of millions of plays on Spotify. It’s one of the 20 tracks on “Coming Home,” an album that sums up and expands what Usher does best. “Good Good,” which features Summer Walker and 21 Savage, is a downright mature post-breakup song about genuinely staying friends afterward.

When you're a mega-star with a long list of gigs and shows, self-care can easily fall off of the to-do list; but not for Usher. Usher Raymond IV, more commonly known as Usher, plans to prioritize his self care, especially following the end of his Las Vegas residency that was extended twice and ahead of his 2024 Super Bowl halftime show performance. "When is the last time you looked in a mirror and really looked at yourself?" Raymond also prioritizes exercising, eating healthy foods, showing up for his partner of four years and raising his four children, according to Vogue. And he takes honoring his mental health a step further by committing to regular sessions with his therapist and practicing meditation daily, according to Vogue.
