Create Music Group has inked a deal with multiplatinum R&B singer Omarion, who recently announced that he’ll be joining fellow B2K members for next year's B2K Reunion Tour. He'll release new solo music through the label later this year and perform on The Tamron Hall Show Sept. 8.

Said Create Music Group A&R/Manager Peter Madana, "Omarion is more than an artist; he’s a visionary whose work has influenced a generation. His story, his sound and his commitment to creative excellence make him a perfect fit for what we’re building at Create.”

Omarion’s manager, Jeanine McLean, looks forward to reading about the deal anywhere but here.
