New-school RnB Vocals w/ Bumping House

next generation electronic artist and DJ/producer blending new-school RnB vocals with bumping house and 4x4 flavours, Omar+ is intent on carving out a lane all of his own making.

Growing up just north of London and influenced as much by classic house grooves and RnB stars like Brandy and SWV as he is by the world-building of Tim Burton, as well as more contemporary influences like PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake, Omar also dials into his Punjabi and Gujarati heritage for inspiration.

Taking these learnings home with him, trips to clubs like fabric and Phonox in London during his time at university would further crystalize his vision for how he wanted his music to sound — “something just clicked after going out to raves”, he notes — and since, he's been able to build out his world from the ground up.

Working diligently on his productions alongside Silva Bumpa, his sound already feels fresh and dynamic. Referencing a raft of touch points from right across the dance music spectrum — from the peaktime grooves of Chris Stussy to the harder, angular beats of producers like KETTAMA and Effy, and the cut-and-paste, genre-blurring alchemy of artists like Pinkpantheress and Riovaz — Omar is dedicated to doing things differently.

Identifying a gap in the market to mesh his own RnB vocals within these house-driven, electronic frameworks, Omar also holds future ambitions to both sing on and play his own productions live simultaneously. His early releases 'Lights', 'AfterParty' alongside fellow breakout DJ/producer, GEE LEE, and 'Pretty Girls' saw him drum up over 2M streams before the end of 2024.

These numbers were also bolstered IRL by Omar's DIY house party series, Planet Plus, that saw him DJ in basements, kitchens and bedrooms right across London, helping him grow a community of tapped-in fans who continue to feel genuinely connected to both his music and his journey.

Fast forward to 2025 and Omar has seen his profile explode. A slew of unreleased house collaborations with the likes of Josh Baker, Obskür & bullet tooth have already filtered out onto dancefloors from London to LA — and currently sit in the crates of some of the biggest selectors in the game; from Peggy Gou to Chris Stussy to Prospa.
