Omari Hardwick Shares New Single (‘hOme’) featuring Anthony Hamilton – Listen!

*New York, New York – Satisfying another creative itch with the release of his debut single, today, Omari Hardwick shares the trap-poetic effort ‘Home’ (stylized as ‘hOme’) featuring Grammy-nominated R&B/Soul singer Anthony Hamilton. When he’s not portraying Ghost on ‘Power’, he allows himself to be as creative as possible through other forms of entertainment like theatre and music.

‘Home’ is a deeply felt single about experiencing pain and suffering, kicking old habits down the street, and returning to the genesis of it all, home.

Above, hear a sample of the first track from his forthcoming album. Stay tuned for more from Omari Hardwick.

About Omari Hardwick:
Born “Omari Latif Hardwick,” he grew up in Decatur, Georgia. Hardwick’s parents gave him a name to set a precedent, “Omari” meaning “most high,” and “Latif” meaning “gentle.” He shares, “I in no way believe that I am the highest or most high, but I feel like my name gives me something to strive for.” Growing up, sports were Hardwick’s world, but early on he knew he had a passion for the arts. By the age of 14, Hardwick was writing poetry on a regular basis, a passion he would carry with him into adulthood. In high school, he excelled at basketball, baseball, and football, and went on to play football at the University of Georgia. Although a star on the field, Hardwick never gave up his passion for acting and minored in theatre in college. He shares, “I hugely attribute sports to my success in the entertainment business. Being on the field taught me dedication and discipline – I already came from a strict household when I was growing up, sports just took that to another level. Whenever I approach a set, I always feel as though the cast, crew, director, are all part of a team. I have always married athletics and art, two huge parts of my life.”

After graduation, Hardwick relocated to San Diego for a spot on the San Diego Chargers (NFL) however a knee injury cut his football career short. He decided to revisit his original passion for acting and moved to New York to study his craft more extensively. In New York, Hardwick studied off Broadway until 2000, when he made the move to Los Angeles. As a struggling actor, he worked odd jobs to pay for acting classes, however, the security gigs and substitute teaching at times were not enough to make ends meet, and at one point he lived out of his car. Hardwick shares, “what is so crazy, is that where I presently shoot my series ‘Dark Blue,’ is where I lived in my car when I first moved to Los Angeles. It is surreal at times.”
