ABOUT XAVIER OMÄR

Born into a musical family, Xavier Omär is no stranger to the wide spectrum of emotions that makes music so powerful. His sound harkens back to the smooth R&B of the 90’s and early-aughts and he cites TLC, Destiny’s Child, Mariah Carey, 112, Brandy and Dru Hill as formative acts that made him understand what the genre is capable of. A former collaborator with other talents like Noname and Sango, Omär’s musical maturity reaches new heights with every release. 

Omär’s last project, 2019’s ‘Moments Spent Loving You,’ was a collaboration with Sango that followed Omär’s smash hit “Blind Man” (over 64.8M+ worldwide streams) and his previous full-length Sango collaboration, 2016’s ‘Hours Spent Loving You.’ In 2020, Omär released ‘if You Feel,’ an album heralded by NPR Music as “without question, his best work to date.” Omär has over 141M+ worldwide streams and has over 1.3M+ monthly listeners on Spotify.
