Solo Career

After the high-energy boy band years, Omar’s solo career has been a journey of finding his own voice—blending his Venezuelan roots with sleek Scandinavian pop.

 

1. The Latin-Swedish Fusion (2018–2020)

Omar launched his solo path by embracing his heritage. His debut single "Que Pasa" (2018) and his Melodifestivalen entry "Om om och om igen" (2019) established him as a rhythmic, bilingual artist. During this time, he balanced singing in both Spanish and Swedish, carving out a unique niche in the Nordic music scene.

 

2. The OMR Era & Global Breakthrough (2021–2022)

The global explosion of Young Royals gave Omar a massive international platform. He leaned into this momentum by releasing:

  • "Omar Covers" (2021): An EP featuring the soulful tracks his character, Simon, performed in the show (like "It Takes a Fool to Remain Sane").
  • OMR (2022): His debut studio album. It was a confident mix of upbeat dance tracks like "Mi Casa Su Casa" and vulnerable ballads like "Mama."
  • "Moving Like That": His 2022 Melodifestivalen entry, which showcased his growth as a polished, high-performance pop star.

 

3. International Expansion (2024–Present)

Recently, Omar has shifted his focus toward the global stage:

  • Atlantic Records: In 2024, he signed a major deal with Atlantic Records (home to stars like Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy) to push his music further into the US and UK markets.
  • Every Night Fantasy EP: This 2024 release marked a move toward a more mature, synth-heavy "80s-inspired" sound, featuring the lead single "Red Light."
  • First Headline Tour: He successfully completed his first solo tour across Europe and select US cities (like New York and LA), proving his ability to sell out venues as a headliner.

4. Music & Touring

  • Upcoming Album (OR2): Rudberg is expected to release a new project, potentially titled OR2, in 2026. This follows his late 2025 singles "Malandro" and "Dying", the latter of which featured a cinematic music video titled Dying: A Moving Portrait.
  • 2026 Live Performances: He has announced festival dates for the summer, including a headlining slot at the Rainbow Festival in Cologne on June 27, 2026. He has hinted that this may be his only festival appearance for the summer season.
  • Recent Touring Success: He recently concluded a major European tour in late 2025, where he served as the opening act for Zara Larsson on her Midnight Sun tour across 17 cities.

 

5. Acting & Media

  • Post-Young Royals Projects: While Young Royals concluded in 2024, Rudberg has teased future professional collaborations with his co-star Edvin Ryding.
  • Representation: He continues to be represented by Atlantic Records internationally and TEN Music Group in Sweden as he transitions toward more global, English-language pop projects.

 

6. Business & Brand

  • OMR Beauty: Rudberg remains active with his brand, OMR Beauty, recently featuring promotional content with Edvin Ryding in early 2026.
  • Cultural Impact: He remains one of Scandinavia's most prominent pop figures, having recently swept the 2025 Rockbjörnen awards, winning four titles including Male Artist of the Year and Swedish Song of the Year.
