aka: Omari Ishmael Grandberry
Hire: Omarion
Omari Ishmael Grandberry (born November 12, 1984), better known by his stage name Omarion, is an American R&B singer, songwriter, actor, and dancer. He rose to prominence as the lead singer of the boy band, B2K.
After making his mark as the lead singer of R&B’s multi-platinum quartet, B2K, Omarion, at age 19, learned to appreciate the unpredictable and ever-changing rhythm of relationships.
Born and raised in Inglewood, California, Omarion began his creative journey doing commercials prior to joining B2K at the age of 15. No sooner than the group hit the scene with their self-titled debut, the group’s first single, “Uh Huh,” landed at #1. Next came the hit single, “Gots Ta Be,” and the release of their sophomore disc, “Pandemonium!”, which included the chart-topping banger, “Bump, Bump, Bump” (featuring P. Diddy) and “Girlfriend.”
The group captured crossover appeal with an entire generation of loyal fans and even a coveted co-headlining slot on the now-infamous “Scream” Tours. Along with earning nominations for MTV Video Music and American Music Awards, they were voted Best Group by VIBE and took home both a Billboard Music Award (for biggest-selling single) and BET Viewer’s Choice Award.

“There is a greater responsibility with being a solo artist than when you’re part of a group,” he says of being on his own. “You can’t switch it up or take a breath because all of the focus in on you. It’s a lot of work.”
With two platinum albums, a Christmas collection, and a Greatest Hits compilation under his belt, Omarion‘s resume has since expanded to include roles on television and film as well as the title of author. He has made primetime appearances on One on One and The Bernie Mac Show, did his thing on the big screen in the blockbuster film and soundtrack, “You Got Served,” and completed work on the film adaptation of the ’70’s cartoon, “Fat Albert.” Then, there’s the autobiography that’s full of professional highlights and personal anecdotes. “There’s a lot about me that my fans don’t know. I’ve been singing and dancing since I was 5 years old and I have made a lot of sacrifices. You don’t live a normal life when you’re in the limelight.”
In late 2007, Omarion and Bow Wow recorded a collaboration album, titled Face Off. The album sold more than 100,000 copies in its first week and went on to sell more than 500,000 copies, reaching gold certification by the RIAA.

In 2009, he re-released the single “I Get It In” with Lil Wayne replaced by Gucci Mane.
On May 2, 2012, Omarion signed with Rick Ross label, Maybach Music Group, and Warner Bros. Records.
In November 2014, he released the single, “Post to Be”, featuring Chris Brown and Jhené Aiko.
In 2019, B2K briefly reformed to go on The Millennium Tour, joined by supporting acts Mario, Ying Yang Twins, Chingy, Pretty Ricky, Bobby V and Lloyd. The tour kicked off on March 8 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and wrapped up on April 28 in Louisville, Kentucky.
In 2020, Omarion released the single “Can You Hear Me?” featuring a guest verse from T-Pain.
On May 31, 2021, “We Will Never Forget” with Omarion, Lalah Hathaway, and Kierra Sheard was released by being featured in the documentary film, Dreamland: The Burning of Black Wall Street.
In the fall of 2021, Omarion headlined The Millennium Tour and concurrently released a single with Soulja Boy and Bow Wow titled “EX” from his forthcoming album, Sex Playlist 2.

Looking toward the future, Omarion envisions his multi-layered career in terms of chapters of a never-ending story that includes songwriting, producing, acting, and an openness to explore anything else that his schedule permits. When asked what music means to him, he responds without hesitation, “Music is everything – it’s my world, my life. I know that I can’t visit each of my fans personally, but I hope that my music makes them feel like they’ve gotten to know me.”
Omarion‘s discography includes five studio albums, three collaborative albums, two extended plays (EPs), one mixtape, and thirty singles (including eleven as a featured artist).
