Omer Michael Jamal Bhatti (born June 14, 1984,[1] better known by his stage name O-Bee, is a Norwegian rapper and dancer.[2] He is also known for his friendship to the deceased pop star Michael Jackson.[3]
Background
Bhatti was born in Drammen, Norway, and grew up in Holmlia. He is child of a Norwegian mother and a Pakistani father, whom both have worked with Michael Jackson.[4]
Career
In winter 2011 he signed a deal with Universal and released the single "All Around the World", launching in 67 countries.[5] The song features singer Genevieve Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson's youngest brother, Steven Randy Jackson. In this regard, he was a guest on the TV show Skavlan.[6] He also released the single "Life Is a Movie" with his first official music video, directed by Kavar Singh, in August 2011.[7]
Speaking about this in a 2012 interview with Luka Neskovic, Bhatti said that "Life Is a Movie" is dedicated to his friend and mentor Michael Jackson. "When I look it now it's definitely the song that I'm happy with, and the video," he stated. "But at that point in my life, what happened three years ago, was very sensitive to me. I make music of what I'm experiencing at that point of my life, my emotions are written there. Those emotions were still so strong. 'Life is a movie' is actually the first song that I wrote after what happened, you know, after he passed." [8]
In September 2012 he released a music video for the single "See The Light" with singer Shontelle.[9] He joined the judging panel for the Norwegian Britain's Got Talent-inspired talent show Norske Talenter in 2013.[10]
