Ukuqala Komsebenzi Womculo Ka-David Usher
Kwakungesikhathi efunda enyuvesi ngo-1992 lapho uDavid eba yilungu leqembu le-Moist. Ngaphezu kwakhe, leli qembu lalihlanganisa: UMark Macovey, uJeff Pierce noKevin Young.
Bonke bahlangana enyuvesi, futhi ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbili leli qembu lisungulwe, benza ikhonsathi yabo yokuqala.
Ngemva konyaka, idemo yokuqala eqoshiwe (eyayihlanganisa izingoma ezingu-9) yenziwa futhi yakhululwa ngohlelo oluncane kumakhasethi, kwathi ngo-1994 kwakhululwa ukukhululwa okuphelele kweSilver.
Iqembu lasheshe lathola ukuthandwa eCanada naseYurophu, ikakhulukazi eJalimane nase-UK.

Umsebenzi we-solo womculi
Ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-albhamu yeqembu ethi Creature, uDavid waqala ukuqopha i-albhamu yakhe yokuqala eyedwa. I-albhamu ethi Izingoma Ezincane yakhululwa ngo-1998. Ngesikhathi esifanayo nokukhishwa kwe-albhamu entsha, uJohn wahlangana neqembu elithi Moist.
Unyaka olandelayo isikhathi sokuqoshwa nokukhishwa kweyesithathu neyokugcina kuze kube manje (kumugqa wakudala) i-albhamu yobude obugcwele ethi Moist.
Ngokushesha ngemva kokukhululwa, leli qembu lanikeza amakhonsathi amaningi ekusekeleni i-disc, kodwa phakathi nohambo, umculi weqembu uPaul Wilkos walimala emhlane futhi walishiya iqembu okwesikhashana.
Ngemuva kokuhamba kwakhe, abanye abahlanganyeli bamise imisebenzi yabo. Leli qembu alizange lihlakazeke ngokusemthethweni, kodwa limise imisebenzi yalo.
Esebenzisa ithuba lekhefu emsebenzini weqembu, uDavid wakhulula i-CD Morning Orbit yesibili. Kukule albhamu lapho kukhona ingoma eyodwa ethi Black Black Heart, u-Usher adume ngayo umhlaba wonke.
Umculi waseCanada uKim Bingham ubambe iqhaza ekuqoshweni kwengoma. Okunye okusetshenziswe ekhorasi ukuqoshwa kukaLeo Delibes kweThe Flower Duet (1883).
I-albhamu iphinde yahlanganisa izingoma ezimbili ezenziwa ngu-Usher ngesiThai. Lokhu kuphinde kwagcizelela ukuguquguquka komculi futhi kwavusa isasasa elikhulu emphakathini.

Esikhundleni salokho, ukhethe ukukhipha ama-CD akhe kulebula elincane elizimele i-Maple Music. Izivivinyo azigcinanga lapho. Ukukhishwa kokuqala okukhishwe ku-Maple Music kunomqondo ocacile futhi kuqukethe izingoma ze-acoustic kuphela.
I-albhamu ethi If God Had Curves yaqoshwa ikakhulukazi eNew York. Ukuze aqophe leli rekhodi, uDavid wakhanga abaculi bendawo abaqamba umculo ngendlela ye-indie rock.
Abaculi abayizihambeli bahlanganisa uTegan noSara, Bruce Cockburn nabanye.
Ukuthuthela komculi eNew York
Kusukela ngo-2006, u-Usher uhlala eNew York, lapho athuthele khona umndeni wakhe. Ama-albhamu akhe alandelayo athi i-Strange Birds (2007) kanye nethi Wake Up nethi Say Goodbye agqugquzelwe yiNew York City futhi aveze ukusebenzisana nabaculi bendawo.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, uDavid wayebambisana ngezikhathi ezithile nabalingani bakhe beqembu le-Moist.
Kusukela ngo-2010 kuya ku-2012 U-Usher ukhiphe okubili okusha: I-Mile End Sessions (2010) kanye Nezingoma Zosuku Lokugcina Emhlabeni (2012), kwase kunqunywa ukuthi kuguqulwe iqembu le-Moist.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi i-albhamu ka-2012 ingxenye enkulu yayiqukethe izingoma ezindala eziqoshwe kabusha ngomsindo we-acoustic. Ngokuqoshwa kwe-albhamu, wasizwa elinye ilungu le-Moist - Jonathan Gallivan, naye owaba nesandla ekuhlanganeni kweqembu.
Ngemuva kokumiswa kweminyaka engu-12, ngo-2014 leli qembu laphinde lakhipha i-albhamu entsha, ethi Glory Under Dangerous Skies. I-albhamu yamukelwe ngemfudumalo umphakathi, owajabulela ukubuya kweqembu lodumo.
Kuze kube manje, lena i-albhamu yokugcina yeqembu, noma kunjalo, kuyaziwa ukuthi ibhendi ilungiselela i-albhamu entsha, futhi uJeff Pearce, omunye wamalungu omugqa wokuqala, naye ubamba iqhaza ekurekhodeni.
