Omari Ishmael Grandberry (born on November 12, 1984 in Inglewood, California), better known as Omarion the R&B singer, actor, and the former lead singer of boy band, B2K.

Omari Ishmael Grandberry was born to Leslie Burrell and Trent Grandberry. He was born around midnight at home. He is the oldest of 7 children. Omarion began to perform at age five. He was part of one "UAC" but soon disbanded away from it as he wanted to focus on his talents in which was music and hip hop. Before he made it into the music business, he was in commercials for Kelloggs Corn Pops and McDonald's.

In 1998, Omarion became the leading man of the Hip Hop/R&B boy band, B2K. The band, including Omarion was made up of a total of four members, Jarell "J-Boog" Houston, DeMario "Raz-B" Thornton, and Dreux "Lil' Fizz" Frederic. The band release their debut album, entitled B2K to some success. Their second album, Pandemonium was far more successful, reaching the top ten on the Billboard 200, giving them their first #1 with "Bump, Bump, Bump". Following their third album, a soundtrack to the movie You Got Served, B2K announced they had broken up.

Almost a year after B2K's split, Omarion released his debut album, O. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, eventually going Platinum. The album spawned the relatively successful song "O". That same year, he was featured on Bow Wow's hit song "Let Me Hold You". The song reached #4 of the Billboard 100, becoming Omarion's first top-ten single as a solo artist.

In December of 2006, Omarion released his sophomore album, 21. "Entourage", the first single, reached only #58 on the Hot 100. It should be noted, the video featured former B2K bandmate Lil' Fizz. The second single, "Ice Box", produced by Timbaland, is currently gaining significant radio airplay and has become his biggest single to date peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. A remix featuring Tah'Burner can be heard here. Omarion stated while on 106 & Park that "Electric" might be his next single because of the buzz it has created from the recent Scream Tour.

In early 2004, Omarion starred, along with with his brother Marques Houston, and, at the time, his fellow B2K bandmates in You Got Served. The movie centered around a group of friends, in a breakdancing crew, who take part in a street dancing competition. The movie was panned by crtics, earning a 17% Frech Rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and 2.1/10 on IMDb. Though it still managed to earn $40 Million, worldwide. Later that year he had a minor roll in the comedy Fat Albert, based on the animated series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. The also starred Marques Houston.

Next, Omarion will appear on Somebody Help Me also with Marques, opening sometime in early 2007. He will also star in the upcoming sequel to You Got Served, You Got Served 2, most likely being released sometime in 2008. The film will, like it predecessor, also star Marques, and it is most likely that the rest of B2K will not return.
