Sesamill CCF/iBattle Worldwide: Artist Profile: Omar Wilson

Omar Wilson

American R&B artist from Norwalk, Connecticut. He has been performing since the age of six, where his solo performances at Norwalk’s Calvary Baptist Church brought response from the audience. “When I sang solo gospel numbers, I would see the adults in the audience crying, just brought to tears. As a kid, I didn’t understand what was happening or how my voice was having this effect on people. As a teenager, Omar Wilson performed as a street artist, using his keen sense of rhyme to develop skills in both rap and hip-hop, as he attracted the attention of many locally.
Omar has captivated audiences and has wowed his way to three time Apollo winner since 2007 and maintained his victory upon becoming Best R&B Male of the Year for both 2008 and 2009 at the Underground Music Awards held at BB Kings in NYC. Omar also performed the National Anthem at Mohegan Sun Casino during the live broadcast of a TKO boxing event. Omar released his 1st record nationally "Get to Know You Better" featuring platinum recording artist Angie Stone. Also in the summer of 2011, Omar released a second mixtape entitled "The Product". Now Mr. Wilson is working on a worldwide album coming soon. The first single was released May 10th, 2012 called Never Again.
