O'Ryan (born O'Ryan Omir Browner; February 12, 1987 is an American R&B singer. He is the younger brother of R&B singer Omarion. He released a self-titled album in 2004 aimed at the teen pop audience.[1]

Background

O'Ryan comes from a musical family. Despite his family's musical ties, as a child, O'Ryan would always let his brother Omarion garner attention for his singing abilities. However, after being cast as Michael Jackson in a play in Los Angeles, O'Ryan found himself following his brother and moving into the spotlight.

O'Ryan is signed to The Ultimate Group (the recording label for former group B2K) and is also on the roster for Motown Records.

He let on a song called Take It Slow, which was co-written by Andre "mrDEYO" Deyo the writer of Jenny From The Block and featured Jessica Benson of 3LW in the lead role in the music video. It peaked at #110 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs in September 2004.[2]

O'Ryan and Jhene Aiko have a daughter together named Namiko.[3]
