He was born Nov. 12, 1984 in Inglewood, CA. His younger brother O'Ryan is also a singer. Grandberry started out as an actor in commercials and a dancer with the girl group Before Dark. He joined B2K in 1999 and took the name Omarion. After recording two successful albums and starring in the 2004 film You Got Served, B2K split up. They weren't getting along. Omarion also appeared in the 2004 film Fat Albert. His debut album O was released in 2005. The single O was a top 30 pop hit. His second album 21 was released in late 2006. Ice Box was the second single. It reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the R&B Singles chart. Ice Box was written and produced by Tim "Timbaland" Mosely and his production crew called The Royal Court.

He was also acting in the UPN sitcom One on One and the spinoff Cuts. He also starred in the 2007 BET film Somebody Help Me which did well enough that there was a 2010 sequel. Omarion left Epic for Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment in 2009. But that didn't work out and he started his own label StarrWorld at EMI. When the 2010 album Ollusion didn't do well, Omarion moved to Maybach owned by Rick Ross and distributed by Atlantic for the 2014 album Sex Playlist. The single Post To Be featuring Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Though he has released a few EPs, that is Omarion's latest album. This digital download covers his Epic albums. Omarion starred in the reality series Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood. Last year B2K reformed for a brief tour.
