There is a new kid on the block stirring up the reggae scene and he is hot! Managed by the man who brought Shabba Ranks to the wide world, this young man is giving the sunshine beats to the USA at the moment with the rate that makes any reggae lovers heart beat extra bounces.
His real name is Omar Samuel Pasley and he was born in Jamaica Clarendon and he is the last of four children of Kenroy and Rachel Pasley. OMI has been singing all his life, performing in the community gatherings, school concerts and church, any opportunity to show off his talent was welcomed to this rising star. OMI was always close to his father and would follow his footsteps to be an artist, many of us would know him as Jah Ken. When OMI was only 9 years old, his dad unfortunately passed away. OMI made a promise, that he would keep his family together with his talent, and is now on the mission to do just that.
His voice is very distinctive and the melodies are catchy and very versatile. He gets his inspiration from the singers like Nat King Cole, John Legend and Tanya Stephens. His songs bounce from the cultural, social and spiritual issues and he is a talented song writer, who without a doubt will be known as one of the greatest.
OMI is currently working on his debut album in the studio. Including the released singles Standing on all threes, Cheerleader, Take it easy and Fireworks, the album will be huge. With the music channels like MTV asking for his interview, we know that the star is born.
A new video is also at works, Fireworks is being captured on the video tape and without a doubt this young man is going to do some serious dents on the hit lists with this one! Watch this space!
