OMARION
writer/interviewed by: Roy Opochinski

Breaking up is hard to do.  When you are a member of a successful group, and the members of the group go their separate ways, it is inevitable that people will wonder whether the individual parts can be as successful on their own as they were when they were together as a group.

B2K’s Omarion faced this reality, when his group underwent a unexpected and somewhat ugly split. The divide was precipitated partially by the desire of certain members of the group to strike out on their own with solo efforts.

Omarion never looked back and entered the studio with modest hopes.  That he did not walk into the reporting process with on unwieldy expectations is far from a surprise, considering how down-to-earth the singer is.

Still, considering how seriously he takes his craft, it is little surprise that the singer’s debut, O, entered the charts at No. 1. “Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be No. 1,” Omarion said during a recent interview with Groovevolt.com. “I was ecstatic.”
