Stockholm-based and Venezuelan-born artist, actor and dancer Omar Rudberg (now aged 26 ) lets his attitude, confidence and spirit surge through his artistry at full blast, tailoring his Latin-infused, arena-ready pop for crowd singalongs in the process.
Before launching his solo career in 2018, he gained recognition and began his professional music career in 2013 as a member of the Swedish boy band FO&O. He is best known internationally for his starring role as Simon Eriksson in the Netflix series Young Royals (2021–2024).
