2. Omar Akram is the son of a United Nations diplomat, Omar Akram spent many of his early years traveling the world, soaking up the musical traditions of such exotic locales as Afghanistan, Cuba, France, and the Czech Republic.
By the age of 14, he was considered a piano prodigy. In his late teens, he discovered the boundary-pushing sounds of Jean Michel Jarre (France), Kitaro (Japan), and Vangelis (Greece), and began to absorb their independent musical influences. At the same time, Omar Akram remained intrigued by such classical composers as Bach and Mozart, and used much of their thematic coherence, comprehensible structure, and clear rhythmic control to craft his own original compositions.

It's So...
Omar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody has a thing inside but some don′t know
Reach into the sky and hold on tight and don't let go
′Cause it's so, love reggae beat, 'cause it′s so
Love a hip hop beat, ′cause it's so
Don′t you back, chat me 'cause it′s so
Way into the night I can be heard giving thanks for these things
We can dance all night as we rock and we sway as music plays
Every day or night nothing new but to do as we dance and we play
'Cause it′s so, love reggae beat, 'cause it's so
Love a hip hop beat, ′cause it′s so
Don't you back, chat me ′cause it's so
Lady says to me, she wants to know and feel the plan
Once you smile at me thats it, wow, wow then I′m your man
'Cause it′s so, love reggae beat, 'cause it's so
Love a hip hop beat, ′cause it′s so
Don't you back, chat me ′cause it's so
The lyrics of Omar's song "It's So..." reflect a sense of positivity and the pursuit of joy through music. From the beginning, the singer acknowledges the light that shines on him and declares that music is within everyone's heart, even those who may not recognize it. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "′cause it's so," emphasizing the power and importance of music in our lives. The lyrics also reflect the physical and emotional reactions to music, describing how it can make our bodies sigh and moan, and how it can bring people together to dance and sway.
The song's bridge speaks of a lady who is looking for a connection, and once the singer smiles at her, he becomes her man. It adds an element of romanticism to the song, as it implies that music can facilitate connections between people.
Overall, "It's So..." sends a message of joy, connection and positivity through the universal language of music. It encourages us to dance, to hold on tight, and to let music guide us through life.
