Omar Perry was born and grown in Kingston Jamaica, the son of the legendary producer and song writer Lee Scratch Perry. At the age of 6, Omar and his little sister recorded on some of their father’s production such as “Thanks we get” by Junior Byles and “Ram Goat Liver” by Pluto Shervington. 

Growing up in such a musical environment with some of the greatest reggae artists that ever worked in his father’s studio, the “Black Ark” Enough to be inspired by the greatest! 

Omar knew one day he would have to take his place on the Reggae Music chariot. After leaving Jamaica in 1996, he headed for London where he lived there for some time. Omar then found himself on a journey to Africa fulfilling a lifelong dream to touch the ground of the mother land, Africa. He lived in The Gambia for some years. After returning to the UK 2000’s Omar set himself a new goal of reaching Europe. On reaching the European scene, Omar did not waste any time in making himself someone that people talked about. 

Omar was contacted by the leader of band ERM, Olivier Gangloff, conceded that he was not only a band member that produces and plays for Lee Perry but a very close friend to the late great man. The talks sparked an instant connection and created a bridge that now binds Omar and ERM together, in keeping the spirit, legacy and persona of one of the greatest reggae legends alive today.
