Omar graduated from the University of Miami in 2005.  About his experience at The U, Omar said, "UM was the perfect fit for me."  The following is a recent interview with this up-and-coming star.

What's your current project?
Currently I'm touring the world with Mr. 305 himself. Pitbull. Which also includes recording, producing/programming, and musical director roles within "Team Pitbull". Chico (Pitbull) encourages his team to wear multiple hats, which in turn allows us to grow with a business mentality in many different settings.

Right now what has me excited musically is all the touring I'm doing with team Pitbull and most importantly how our stock is slowly rising. I started this gig 2 years ago and my playing has changed tremendously as well as my confidence behind the kit, so to see ourselves progress this far two years is really big for my musical endeavors.

You slide between different styles, backing artists from dance and jazz to hip-hop and pop. What has helped you be versatile while still bringing authentic sound?
With a gig like this it helps to be versatile, we play a ton of different music in one set and it varies from rock, to merengue, salsa, other Caribbean rhythms and of course t . . .
