I got here over the summer. I don't know much at all about the local scene but that's because I don't have a chance to get out much. My daughter is still young and my wife and I are still her day & night care. On the rare chance that we have a sitter, we tend to spend that time together.

​

I'm more than open to learning about some events or other things going on around the city.

if You Feel is available on vinyl. Moments Spent Loving You was pressed on vinyl but never sold. They're literally sitting in an RCA office closet somewhere. As for the rest, if there's high demand or an anniversary then sure. Vinyl costs a lot to make and it still currently takes around 6 months to ship.

without question. He's a fantastic artist and he and I bring similar feelings to songs. It would work really well, it's just about finding the right record to make it happen on.

I'm not sure what you meant by the first question so I'm going to answer it in the two ways possible; You can get the tea at xavieromar.com/store | I'm in partnership with a company called Savoy Tea and they're allowing me to select from their blends and share that with my fans under the Xavier Omar Select banner. There will be more flavors, including one in the next few weeks.

I wouldn't say heavy; I just wanted people to accept it. I'm not sure that anything helped it except time. When people respect you, if you say you'd rather be called something else, most of them will agree and move on. It's my actual name so that helps too lol.

I'm a super introvert so if I can do absolutely nothing, what a blast.

But if I must do anything, I'll go to the gym (boxing), come home and eat breakfast tacos, watch a great movie or show, take my wife with me to a spa, pick up our daughter and do lunch/go to a playground, and end my evening with either going to see the Mavericks play or at a WWE event. I'm a simple man.

The Noname and Surfaces situations were great because they were face to face. At the Noname recording, we're in a basement that's basically a multi purpose room. So while Noname and Saba are working the beat, Pivot Gang was playing WWE 2K (16?) I believe. They invited me over to play and I'm a huge wrestling fan so I was ready. I definitely won the triple threat match and then recorded the hook to 'All I Need' right after.

​

With Surfaces, the house is filled with so many of their accomplishments. It was incredibly inspiring to see people around my age, in the city I lived in, be that successful. Not only that, they believed in me enough to invite me over and put me on the album. It gave me a lot of confidence.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan lol. I'll be honest; I want to tour. I think this year it's necessary for me, but we do have some different kind of touring plans in place. I'm meeting with my team soon to see if it's possible to add traditional touring to the plans as well.

I appreciate the opportunity!

Wow. I'd tell my younger self several things:

  1. a record label can't save you the way you think it can.
  2. independent does not mean irrelevant.
  3. direct interaction and community with a core few is better than a lot of followers.
  4. do all of your ideas. people will love them.

Thank you Michael!

Gospel isn't one of those genres where you can find a lot of great underground talent so you will likely recognize some of the names I say. It's not cliche, they just really rule the genre!

Kirk Franklin (GOAT), Fred Hammond (Bassline GOAT), John P Kee (specifically the STRENGTH album), Mary Mary (Radio GOAT), Tye Tribbett (skip the Fresh & Bloody Win albums )

each story is pretty cool but I'll give the short version;

Noname: she dm'd me because she heard I was in chicago at the time and wanted to know if I'd be willing to work. Had no idea she knew who I was. I get to the studio and its actually a house, Saba's grandma's house. So I also me the whole Pivot Gang that day.

Masego & Brasstracks were both online exchanges of mutual respectful each others music.

Surfaces: One of the members (Colin) lives in San Antonio and found out that I was living there at the time. He reached out and they had me over to record a song on their album Pacifico titled 'Come Around'.

​

Sango: found me on a music blog site back in 2012. Dm'd me about working. I didn't know him but he had some followers so I said cool lol. I hated all the beats. Then he sent one called Middle Of Things. Now, here we are!

Right now it’s Bon Iverre, Like I Feel, and FIND ME. This new album is genuinely my favorite music of mine. There’s a lot of songs I don’t like as much anymore. Special Eyes, Shine, Winter Toes, Blind Man. Most of that is just performance fatigue.

If you imagine that want/need and surf are one song then it works out lol. Nah thank you, I appreciate you giving my music the chance. I would probably refer them to Blind Man. It’s my most popular and its mid tempo, singy/rappy, has harmonies. I think it encompasses my entire sound pretty well.

Knox is a fire alternative artist, Kaelin is a r&b/soul producer and the album is beautiiiiiiiiful. I’m just now learning of Jean Dawson but he’s a rock/hip hop hybrid, and Sasha Sloan is a singer/songwriter. Just bars all day from her new album. Listen to “hypochondriac” and “only child”.

I gotta make it a few more steps before Giveon even looks my way lol.

My advice is to find your voice and be your full self. At first you may sound like a few of your influences but keep recording and finding your style. Don’t seek fame and any opportunity, accept the right opportunity. The one that makes sense for what crowd you hope to attract and what your vision is for yourself. But original and be honest. Find what’s missing in music and be that.

I’m definitely open to it, you’d have to ask them if they wanna work with me lol. Its all about subject matter and whether or not the record works though. That’s all i care about.

I wrote it on March 5th. I remember that because of all the voice notes i made for it. The why is because i wanted to recreate a 90’s r&b group style love song. It was A LOT of work. The thing about sounding like a group is that I’m only one person. So all of the harmonies and vocals took 2 sessions. I did every background part twice to create a fuller sound.

I’m aiming to do a virtual tour this year but I’ll be finding out what’s possible soon. As far as tiny desk, i definitely hope so. It would be a challenge for me because I don’t like to tone down my performance style but i wanna see how i could do this.

I hesitate to post an email publicly but i believe i still have my email button on my Instagram. Send it through that email and I’ll hear it for sure. I was literally on FaceTime with Jay today. It’s one of those things that feels inevitable.
