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.
3. Omar is a two-piece punk band rooted in Philadelphia, PA. They released a CD titled "I'm Not Mad, I'm Just Mad That You're Mad" in April 2010.

The lyrics to Omar's song "Winner" delve into a relationship where one partner feels burdened and constrained by the other's expectations. The song starts with the plea to not make the singer feel suffocated anymore. Despite the singer's tireless efforts, they do not seem to be able to meet their partner's standards. The chorus then repeats this sentiment, with the singer stating that they cannot handle the pressure but also cannot let go of their partner. Lines in the song suggest that the singer's partner is possessive and does not let them speak their mind, which exacerbates the situation. The singer feels trapped in a cycle of longing to leave but not being able to.
The second verse describes the singer's difficulty in finding a break from this relationship. They feel surrounded and cannot escape the pressure being put on them. The bridge of the song then shifts the tone to one of impatience, asking for their partner to stop playing games and come back to them. The song ends with a plea for freedom, where the singer requests that their partner gives them space and not force them to stay.

@Soulhead1981
What a groove !!! All these crappy X factor / American Idol nobodies get top billing and this Musical Genius gets ignored.Britain should be shouting his name from the rooftops. It makes me sick. Omar is one of the best artists the UK has ever produced.

OMAR THE GREAT!!! Where are all the comments for this track! This is one of my faves. When I'm singing with OMAR, I just clutch my chest and feel the vibrations of the notes as I sing the lyrics that epitomize the essence of my feelings... its MEDICINE FOR MY SOUL!!! Omar's music is gospel inspiration for me. THATS REAL TALK
@costa1434
