Pop/R&B veteran Usher and his protege Justin Bieber make for a hot duo on the cover of Billboard Mag. During the photo shoot Usher and JB share the greatness of their student-teacher relationship.
“He’s always been a dope MC,” Usher says of the singer he discovered on YouTube. “”Boyfriend” was really the defining moment; it became No. 1 everywhere, which is what dreams are made of. Both of us are being modest about what our journeys have been in terms of songwriting: Justin really has participated in every writing session- that’s amazing.
It’s easy to just dial something in, but if you make the music authentic, people feel connected to you as an artist from the beginning.”
