MiniBio

Omarion, the American R&B singer and multi-talented artist, is widely recognized not only for his smooth vocals but also for his skills as a songwriter, dancer, and actor. Many fans know Omarion as the former lead singer of the popular early 2000s group B2K, where he performed alongside Lil Fizz, Raz-B, and J-Boog. As Omarion continued to build his career, he released his third solo album, Ollusion, in 2010—a project that further showcased Omarion’s evolution as an artist.

Before all the fame and spotlight, Omarion’s journey began when music manager Chris Stokes approached him at a New Year’s Eve party back in 1999. That night, Stokes pitched the idea of forming a new boy band called “Boys of the New Millennium,” with Omarion naturally stepping into the role of lead singer. Born Omari Grandberry, Omarion grew up as the oldest of seven siblings, raised by his parents Leslie Burrell and Trent Grandberry. Interestingly, one of his younger brothers is the singer O’Ryan, making music something of a family affair.

On a personal note, Omarion shares two children, Megaa and A’mei, with his longtime girlfriend Apryl Jones. Through every chapter—whether it was rising to fame with B2K or forging his own path as a solo act—Omarion has remained a prominent figure in the R&B world, continually shaping his legacy with each performance and release. And even now, Omarion continues to inspire both fans and fellow artists alike.
