Biography

Omar Cunningham is an American Southern soul and rhythm and blues singer. Born in Gadsden, Alabama, Cunningham developed an interest in singing at a young age. Throughout his youth, Cunningham sang with various bands, and in the early 1990s he received a BA in criminal justice. This led Cunningham to become an investigator, and in 2002 he wrote a book based on his experiences named [i]You Be the Judge[/i]. In 2003 he released his debut album [i]Hell at the House[/i], which peaked at 53 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Moving forward, Cunningham continued releasing albums: [i]Omar Cunningham[/i] (2004), [i]Worth The Wait[/i] (2006), [i]Time Served[/i] (2008), [i]Growing Pains[/i] (2011), and [i]Certified[/i] (2020). Furthermore, he became a common collaborator of singer [a=Willie Clayton], and provided him with songwriting services on Clayton's albums [i]Love, Romance, & Respect[/i] (2009), [i]I Am Rhythm & Blues[/i] (2012), and [i]Heart And Soul[/i] (2015). He is a credited writer for Clayton's song "We Both Grown," a collaboration between Clayton and [a=Dave Hollister], which peaked at 84 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in 2010. At the 2009 Jacksonville Music Awards, Cunningham won 'International Vocalist of the Year' and 'Best Recording by a Single Artist'. He is currently working on his next album [i]Love ... the Album[/i].
