Omarion (born Omari Ishmael Grandberry on November 12, 1984 in Inglewood, California) is an African American R&B singer, former lead singer of boy band B2K.
Omarion was the last member to join B2K, at age 14. He was introduced to Raz-B, J Boog and Lil' Fizz through Chris Stokes, IMX's manager. Omarion and IMX member Marques Houston are half-brothers, and in fact can be seen showing off a house they live in together on an episode of the highly popular MTV show, Cribs. Marques's mother died when he was young. Omarion is also the older brother of R&B singer O'Ryan.
B2K disbanded in January 2004, right after appearing in the Screen Gems film You Got Served. Omarion went on to start a solo career, and has a solo debut LP, entitled O, that was released through Epic Records on February 22 2005.
Omarion became the first star ever to be on Punk'd twice (the only other one is Jesse Metcalfe). Omarion's first appearance was when he went on a date with a girl and her father got upset with Omarion. His second was when Omarion set up his half-brother Marques Houston to help break up with Omarion's girlfriend because the actress who played her was pregnant.
