She is signed to Whiplash Records and has released one album, titled Wake Up, under that label. Armstrong is known for her feature on a Bath & Body Works holiday compilation album sponsored by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Omartian was born Paige Armstrong on June 9, 1990 in Florida to Gary and Donna Armstrong. Growing up in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, her passions were singing, acting, and songwriting.
In the spring of 2001, Omartian began experiencing pains in her legs. It was assumed by doctors that the pains were a result of growth, but she was later diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a cancerous bone tumor, on her right leg. The tumor kept her hospitalized and she experienced many regular cancer symptoms, such as hair loss, trouble walking, and acid reflux disease, as she was unable to eat many foods.
During her treatment through chemotherapy, she maintained a positive attitude as she began writing songs about the way she felt during her trials. It was this positive attitude that gained the attention of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and they arranged for her record a Bath & Body Works holiday CD in Nashville, Tennessee with artists such as Stevie Wonder and Martina McBride. In addition, Armstrong was featured on national news programs such as Today and Extra. At the time of her appearance on The Today Show in 2005, Armstrong was in remission. To date, she is completely cancer-free.
