Omar Ahmad is a Palestinian-American composer, producer, DJ and sound artist. He is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist whose desire to derive the essential elements of sound has grown towards found-sound immersions, globally-influenced musical storytelling, and lush atmospheric compositions. He has been a stalwart member of the underground Brooklyn electronic scene for many years and has been a guest performer with Radio Alhara, The Lot Radio, Karachi Community Radio, and more.
His debut solo record, Inheritance was released to a wide spectrum of praise, including Electronic Sound, Bandcamp’s Best Ambient Music, and DJ Mag’s “Eight Emerging Artists You Need to Hear.” A full remix album entitled Inheritance • Remixed was released the following year with contributions from Tammy Lakkis, Sam O.B., Otodojo, Solpara, and more. Ahmad has not rested in his support of sonic resistance and collective liberation through the Palestinian lens via live performances and new improvisations, and his single Tala’ al-Badru ‘Alayna was highlighted on Resident Advisor through PTP's Palestinian Resistance compilation and featured via The Wire. Omar was also recognized as a Pioneer Works Music Resident for their 2025 cohort in support of his next album.
Alongside Alicia Coleman (Sweet Kicks) Ahmad is co-founder of a recurring global music series called Ūmboma, which emphasizes the complementary nature of African, Arab and Latin American contemporary sound. He is a contributing DJ at Laylit, the largest and fastest-growing contemporary Middle Eastern and North African music community in New York.
