Bio: Naomi Danielle White born February 12th 1994 to parents Fantasia and Chris White Naomi was pretty popular at home in school she had plenty of friends Naomi has always had a passion for entertaining she started singing at 7 Naomi had been in a few other girl groups before SYNCO which all ended up failing Naomi is a perfectionist when it comes to anything she has a passion for so she gave up on groups for awhile after seeing the others not taking it as serious as herself she tried going solo for awhile not getting anywhere she later heard about Weekend: The Big Search and decided maybe it'd be a good idea to give it a shot she made it through the auditions with ease due to her looks, personality and passion for music and entertaining she's bonded well with all the girls as shown on camera she's even said that these girls have become like her best friend and share the same passion for music as her so they're a lot easier to work with than the previous girls people who know Naomi often say she's very funny and outgoing and just fun to be around Naomi has been caught in a couple controversial rumors since SYNCO started but always seemed to just shake them off she's also been criticized ever since the beginning about her vocals which she showed she's improved on tremendously since their debut album Naomi's voice is soulful yet laid back type in a way
