Usher’s OMG Tour to feature special guest Trey Songz plus Miguel
The OMG Tour comes hot on the heels of Usher’s current pop chart smash, “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love,” from his recent release Versus, an extension of his platinum sixth studio album, Raymond V. Raymond. The record debuted at No.1 on the Pop and R&B albums charts, and spawned five hit singles including “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home),” “Lil Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj, “There Goes My Baby” and “OMG” featuring will.i.am. Usher recently performed at the MTV 2010 Video Music Awards on September 12th.
Songbook Entertainment/Atlantic recording artist Trey Songz has made the transition from rapidly rising young artist to bonafide R&B superstar. 2009′s RIAA gold-certified smash, Ready, was a true breakthrough that gave Trey his first-ever Billboard 200 Top Ten debut and received a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Contemporary R&B Album.” The hugely anticipated September 14th release of Songz’ Passion, Pain & Pleasure-with the bouncy first single “Bottoms Up (Feat. Nicki Minaj)” and “the soulful “Can’t Be Friends”-finds the Virginia-based R&B superstar energized and evolving as he continues to refine his mastery of sultry, soulful songcraft.

Bystorm/Jive recording artist Miguel is a captivating singer, songwriter, producer, and performer who fuses funk, hip-hop and electro to create a unique sound that defies classification. Miguel first garnered attention for his collaborations with Blu on the 2007 underground classic Below the Heavens. His initial solo effort “Sure Thing” boasts over seven million Myspace plays and his first official major label debut single, “All I Want Is You” featuring J.Cole, is showing early signs of success with strong radio airplay on both the R&R Rhythm and Billboard Urban Mainstream charts. Miguel has been featured on Asher Roth’s debut album Asleep in the Bread Aisle; co-wrote “If U Leave,” the #1 single from Musiq and Mary J. Blige and recently worked with Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and The Avila Brothers on Usher’s Raymond V Raymond album. His upcoming debut album, also entitled All I Want Is You, is due out later this year. For more information, visit OfficialMiguel.com
