One person who's been a cheerleader for OMI's career has been Taylor Swift, who last month invited him to join her on stage to duet on the song during her tour stop in San Diego. "You know, I always try to keep focused." But, he adds of his potential cheerleaders, "I always try to show that I’m appreciative that they’re even thinking this way or even approaching me about it." "I’m not very easily distracted," he tells ABC Radio. But that doesn't mean he's taking advantage of the opportunities: he's too busy working on his career.
For me it was a concept, a lot of people are able to relate to it and it connects with a lot of people, you know?"īut thanks to the success of the song, OMI, born Omar Samuel Pasley, now has plenty of women offering to be his own personal cheerleader.and he's not complaining about it, either. "I mean, it’s a concept," he tells ABC Radio. While "Cheerleader" has a message that any woman would like to hear, OMI admits that sadly, there was no one special lady who inspired the song. He laughs, "I would say by now if I’m not tired of it already…There’s no getting tired of this song, mon!" The version that's a hit now is a remix of that original version, which OMI says he wrote "like, seven years ago, eight years ago." So at this point, he must be totally sick of singing the song, right? Actually, no. See, the original version of "Cheerleader" was slower and had a different arrangement. What you may not know is that the song actually came out back in 2012, but OMI wrote it years before that.
Daniel Messemer"Cheerleader," the breakout hit for Jamaican singer OMI, was #1 for six weeks and won the coveted Official Song of the Summer 2015 title from Billboard magazine.
