Omar Perry

About

Born into reggae royalty, Omar Perry carries a legacy as rich and vibrant as the genre itself. Born 1968, in Kingston, Jamaica, Omar followed in the footsteps of his legendary father, Lee “Scratch” Perry, to become a prominent figure in the reggae and dub scene. However, Omar’s journey was not just about living up to a famous name; he carved his own niche with a distinctive sound that fuses tradition with innovation.

Growing up in a household surrounded by reggae luminaries and immersed in the creative process, Omar’s love for music was inevitable. He absorbed the essence of reggae and dub from an early age, fostering a deep appreciation for both the roots and evolution of the genre. With a voice that carries the soulful echoes of his father’s era, Omar’s vocals resonate with authenticity and passion.

Omar Perry’s musical odyssey started in the MID 1970s in his father’s studio. Embracing his heritage, he skillfully blended traditional reggae rhythms with contemporary influences, injecting a fresh energy into the genre. His lyrics often touched on themes of love, unity, social consciousness, and personal growth, reflecting the spirit of reggae as a platform for both entertainment and activism.
