Three days later, he hit me and he was like \u2018I need you to cover me for Usher.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Normally, Foster would have had his hands full touring with H.E.R. But, the R&amp;B singer is working on a new album, which freed up some downtime. He was enjoying watching his children compete in sports and having some extra time to decompress.<\/p>\n<p>But, this was Usher. It was a bucket-list opportunity to work with an artist he had been listening to his entire life. He had about four and a half weeks to learn a two-hour show. There were 20 shows in 56 days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just listened to the music for two weeks,\u201d Foster said. \u201cI didn\u2019t touch my bass, I didn\u2019t touch my keyboard. I just let it get into my spirit so I could retain it. When I got to that third week, I put it in my Logic [software] and cut every song up. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went really tedious with the studying process. Nothing was foreign, it was just playing the retention game. I hadn\u2019t played all of them, but I knew where they were going. I knew the journey of every song.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The tour began and ended in London, where Usher played 10 shows. At first, Foster thought the band would ease into the process since they were in London for so long, but he quickly realized there wasn\u2019t much time for that. He was glad he was prepared. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first day the music director was like \u2018alright, let\u2019s go to World 8, you know, different sections of the setlist. So I\u2019m like \u2018alright cool\u2019, I look at the paper, I know exactly which songs I\u2019m supposed to do \u2026 That click comes on in our ears and we just hit it. After that medley of like 5 or 6 songs with the arrangements, the hits, the segways, and the interludes, the director stopped and was like \u2018well damn\u2019. That was the best feeling.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Usher\u2019s attention to detail and habit of keeping the band on its toes stood out to Foster. From putting musicians on the spot in practice sessions to bringing out special guests whose music would have to be learned quickly, the singer ended up throwing a few curveballs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got another curveball when he was in the back changing. We do a live section where it\u2019s no tracks, straight band. He was like \u2018I want to give some light to my band, bass what you got for me?\u2019 I was like \u2018whoa.\u2019 There were a lot of those. You\u2019ve got to be on your A-game with him. It was a great experience.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Foster is a grammy-nominated producer. He\u2019s been on a lot of big stages. But, the feeling of hearing Usher sing to the notes he was playing was unforgettable, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was getting my bass ready getting ready to hop off the stage and I bent over fixing something and I felt this hand tap me on my shoulder,\u201d Foster said. \u201cI look up and it\u2019s him, in the middle of the show while a dance break is going because the DJ is spinning. He\u2019s looking at me like \u2018play it\u2019. I\u2019m like OK. I\u2019m on the side of the stage just jamming. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne time he went up to the drums, and mind you, he\u2019s supposed to be going to the back to change but he\u2019s just vibing. Those moments are when I\u2019m like \u2018this dude is human too.\u2019 He likes to have fun. I think it was dope to experience that and those were the moments when I was like this is really Usher vibing like this.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spreading-knowledge-to-the-next-generation\"><strong>Spreading knowledge to the next generation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Last month, at the R.E.A.L. program, Foster led a four-day bootcamp on songwriting, production, and performance that culminated in a live performance in front of the students\u2019 friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>Foster hired a team of educators, helped develop the program\u2019s curriculum, and taught hand-on lessons. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program gave me a creative outlet and a lot more perspective on how to go about songwriting and producing, stuff like that,\u201d student Aryanna Seerasingh said. \u201cI\u2019ve made music before but I wasn\u2019t really big on producing, more songwriting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, being in this program makes me feel more connected to producing because I want to be able to put my personal touches on things.
