Omar Perry

Omar Perry is a dynamic reggae artist, stepping out from the large shadow of his legendary father, Lee "Scratch" Perry, a towering figure in the reggae world. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, he was immersed in the genre from an early age, and his upbringing was steeped in music alongside his father's innovative work at the mixing desk, leading to a deep understanding of reggae's roots and its branches. Omar's own musical journey is marked by a commitment to the themes that reggae holds dear – spirituality, resistance to oppression, and the celebration of life through rhythm and melody.

His body of work showcases a fusion of classic roots reggae with a modern twist, as he blends heavy baselines and traditional messages with contemporary concerns. Omar Perry's songs often delve into socio-political issues, personal empowerment, and the spiritual connection within humanity, which is evident in tracks like "Hail Jah" and "Rumors of War (Drum Song Riddim)." With his soulful voice and insightful lyrics, he has carved out a space for himself in the reggae scene, earning respect for both his lineage and his own artistic contributions. As he continues to release new music, such as "She's mine" and "BREATH OF LIFE," Omar Perry upholds the legacy of regressive conscious music, while continually pushing its boundaries forward.
