Born in Guinea, and currently based in the U.S, Cheick Omar is undoubtedly poised to be the hottest new RnB act to hit the African charts.
Singing in both French and English, he is able to reach out to Africans in the diaspora as well as fans from all nations. He preaches his message of peace, love and respect with an urban swag that will keep you moving.
Cheick Omar found an interest in music in his early years. As a teenager, he created a local music group in the city of Conakry and was quickly able to gather a following large enough to get him on stage with some of Africa's biggest and most respected talents. The group went on to open for Salif Keita, Youssou N'Dour and Sekouba Bambino.
In 2001, Cheick moved to the U.S and for the following years, put his music on the back burner. In 2007, his passion was immediately re-ignited by anger and frustration after political unrest led to a massacre on the streets of his home town, Conakry. Between January and February of 2007, too many innocent lives were taken after what should have been a peaceful demonstration.
