Xavier Omar In Concert
San Antonio's Xavier Omär resists being constrained by labels and has proved to be one of the most versatile new voices out there. He boasts a sweet croon that can anchor hip-hop tracks like his collaborations with Seattle MC Sango as stunningly as it can float above wispy trap beats like the ones on his 2017 EP ‘Pink Lightning.'
Omär began his career in 2012 under the name SPZRKT (pronounced "Spazzy Rocket"), collaborating with Sango and other artists operating at the cutting edge of urban music, like the MC Noname and the rapper Mick Jenkins.
In 2016, he ditched the pseudonym and started releasing music as Xavier Omär. That year's EP ‘The Everlasting Wave' was a wild introduction to his kaleidoscopic musical vision, featuring the crisp, brassy "Special Eyes" alongside the swirling "Speculate" and the downcast "Do Not Disturb."
That EP established Omär as someone with a boatload of talent and few constraints. In 2018, Omär focused mostly on releasing collaborations, including the plush reunion with Sango "Sweet Holy Honey" and the dramatic duet with soul singer Anna Wise "Easy" (the latter was featured on the soundtrack to season three of HBO's acclaimed Issa Rae showcase Insecure).
Omär has toured relentlessly as he works on new music. In early 2019, he hit the road with kindred spirit NAO. His phrasing and range have inspired comparisons to Miguel and Ty Dolla $ign, but his artistic vision is all his own; he delights in resisting categorization. "As much as you can put me... in a sentence with H.E.R. or Daniel Caesar, you can also put me in a sentence with Khalid or Billie Eilish," Omär said in a 2018 interview. "At times people don't know what to do with it, but at the end of the day, it's good music — if you listen."
Had an amazing time at Xavier Omar's concert! The opening act was amazing! She had such a beautiful voice! Hittin' all the notes. I think her name was Michaela Janae or Renee. The staff that worked the front door and the balcony and the bartender upstairs were all very kind. The show was great! Xavier and Elahe were great! Down to the last and most popular song Blind Man!
All three artist - Xavier Omar, Elhae, and idk the opening act's name - were unique and captivating. Each artist carried themselves and brought E-N-E-R-G-Y!!!!! Xavier defiantly sounds like his recordings and this music enthusiast was impressed. I look forward to you all returning to the A. With gratitude!
Xavier Omar is a great performer. Great stage presence. Interactive with the crowd. Good variety in the setlist. Good artist alll around.
The atmosphere of the crowd singing Blind Man during the encore was electric. Loveeeed the whole show!! Soo glad I went.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the Xavier Omar and Elhae concert!! All the artists were amazing and the mics were ON!
Wonderul and intimate, not crowded and the wine was $5
I started listening to your music back in 2016 and I fell in love with it ever since “the ever lasting wave” came out and I can’t get enough of the master pieces you have created.
Came to San Diego for my wife's 30th and saw that the show was happening, so happy I bought tickets. Performance was amazing and the venue was equally awesome.
Great venue, great artist, wouldn't mind coming back.
Xavier did a fantastic job!!! I will definitely see him again. His music is so dope!!! Thank you Xavier for blessing us with your art!!!
