He exhibits a strong command of Ghanaian languages like Ga, Hausa and his own mother tongue Fanti with which he blends his music and the products are irresitible.

Having performed internationally at a variety of places including Cote D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Benin, Britain, France, South Africa and Togo, Rex Omar is set to explode on the international market.

Rex Omar is firmly rooted in his native criss-cross rhythms and melodic inflections. With this heritage plus the pervasive influence of Western pop music and his personal love for jazz, he plays a unique blend of Afro-pop and jazz music.

Indeed, his singing style portrays influences from the praise singers of Northern Ghana and Ashanti.
