New Delhi: After Bob Marley, 31 year old OMI is the first Jamaican singer-songwriter who triggered a global musical tide. His chartbuster single 'Cheerleader' was officially hailed as 'Song Of The Summer' by Billboard
after a lengthy six week reign at the Number one spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. It snagged an incredible 800 million combined video views and was streamed over 400 Million times on Spotify. The unstoppable hit notched platinum-plus sales in the UK, Sweden, Italy, Germany, and Australia, 3X platinum certification in Spain and Diamond certification in France.
A praiseworthy follow-up to 'Cheerleader', OMI delivered 'Hula Hoop' in his debut album 'Me 4 U' which garnered over 100 million views and a platinum certification. The album also features tracks like 'Stir It, 'These Are The Days', 'Hitchiker' and 'Babylon'.
The affable singer/songwriter, who hails from the rural Jamaican parish of Clarendon – 'a stone's throw from Kingston' pursued his interest in music from the age of 14 years. He has worked with A-list artists like Felix Jaehn, Shaggy, The Vamps, Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne and is a frequent caller of major music award ceremonies all around the world.
The new king of pop OMI's debut India tour, organised by White Fox India, will take place on February 23 at Kitty Su, Mumbai, and February 24 at Privee, New Delhi.
OMI states, "Hey Namaste India, I just want to say thanks for the invite to share your culture. I am really looking forward to the experience of the food, the music, the people and the awesome sights to see."
"Big ups to White Fox India for finally making this happen, looking forward to seeing you all really soon."
