Omar Samuel Pasley (born 3 September 1986),[1] better known by his stage name Omi (/ˈoʊmiː/ OH-mee; stylised in all caps),[2] is a Jamaican singer.
He established in Kingston, after being discovered by the dancehall impresario Clifton Dillon (known as Specialist) and signed to Oufah, an independent Jamaican label.
Never releasing an album, OMI had various local hits in Jamaica like "Take It Easy", "Fireworks" (accompanied by a music video) and "Color of My Lips", the latter featuring Busy Signal, a well-known Jamaican dancehall, ska, and reggae artist.
In early 2014, Ultra Music commissioned two remixes for the song, one by Ricky Blaze and the other by Felix Jaehn, a 20-year-old German producer.
Eventually, Ultra Music opted for the airy tropical house version of "Cheerleader" as remixed by Jaehn.
