Perry, Omar
Life
Perry, a name that sounds like a legend, a name of a wizard
who shook up reggae by giving birth to Dub. Yes, we are
talking about Lee Scratch Perry! But this genius and
producer also gave birth to something unique, or rather
someone, a son and no less talented singer: Omar Perry. From
his family legacy, Omar Perry got his fathers extravagant
hats, but not only! He spent his childhood in the mythical
Black Ark Studio, where he attended his fathers recording
sessions with Bob Marley and the Wailers, Junior Murvin and
Max Romeo. Enough to be inspired by the greatest!
Omar Perry seduces the public over his different projects
and tours. This craze is due to his singular vocal power, subtly
combined with reggae and dancehall sounds. For Omar Perry,
like this new generation of Jamaican artists, an opening up
to more recent musical genres and more modern aesthetics
give reggae a new area. And it is during a world curfew, in the
spring of 2021, that he is contacted by Benwah, producer,
composer and musician who had already worked on his very
first album Man Free. He sent him his last two or three
reggae productions. But Benwah, inspired by the brothers
Damian and Stephen Marley among others, wanted to take
the project into an urban dimension. The tracks are reworked
with a more hip-hop aesthetic. The gamble is successful,
Omar Perry was seduced. What was originally intended to
be a collaboration on a simple single quickly turned into an
album project, so natural, instinctive and spontaneous was the
connection between the two artists. At the crossroads of hiphop
and reggae, this new album places Omar Perry in a new
musical dimension that suits him perfectly!
