Omar Naber
Omar Kareem Naber (born 7 July 1981) is a Slovenian singer, songwriter and guitar player. He first represented Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in Kyiv with the song "Stop" and for a second time at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv with the song "On My Way", but failed to qualify to the final on both occasions.
Naber was born on 7 July 1981 in Ljubljana, SR Slovenia, then still part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. His father, Samir Naber originates from Jordan, and is a dentist by profession working in Ljubljana. His mother, Alenka Naber, is a Slovenian and works as a piano teacher. Like his parents, he was raised Christian. He finished high school diploma as a dental technician and even did six months internship, but soon realized that this was not what he wanted to do in his life. He has been actively involved in music since the age of 16, when he joined Veter (Wind), a mixed choir of Ljubljana high schools. The main inspiration for him wanting to become a musician was Green Day.
In 1999, he founded a rock band, with some member changes over the years, but the band is still playing today. He had over 800 gigs with his band in total and another hundred at charity events.
In 2001, he took second place at the local song contest ‘Kdo bo osvojil Triglav’ (Who will conquer Triglav) and immediately signed a contract with Slovenian label Nika Records.
After he signed a contract, he performed as a backing vocalist for various Slovenian artists in studio sessions and live performances. He appeared on different albums for D.D.V., for Saša Vrtnar (‘Persona Non Grata’), for Rok'n'band (‘Elvis je živ’), etc.
In late 2004, Naber won Bitka talentov, the Slovenian version of the Battle of the Talents and became nationally recognized. That year, he also recorded his first song and video "Vse kar si želiš" (Anything you want), released as a single on his Omar album the following year.
As a winner of this battle, he performed and won at the EMA 2005, the Slovenian national selection for Eurovision. He participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 with the song "Stop" (in Slovene), a song he had composed himself, along with Urša Vlašič. He failed to qualify to the final, however, finishing in 12th place with 69 points.
His first album Omar was also released in 2005. He spent 2006 touring Slovenia, as well as internationally, and eventually went back to the studio to record his second album with his band Kareem. This second album, named Kareem, was released in 2007.
