Tell us about yourself
During the COVID-19 lockdown, I was restricted from gigging. I decided to set up my own business to help others with my younger self in mind. The music industry can be a tricky place to navigate, and I wanted to give back. Helping and motivating others, improving the music industry, and helping the grassroots of the community grow motivate me each day.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being a Label Owner, Music Production/ DJ Teacher, Mastering Engineer, and International Resident in Ibiza, France, U.K & Dubai. I have played in some of the biggest clubs in the U.K, including Egg LDN, Fabric, The Arch, The Cause & Much more. I also played in festivals in front of 12,500 people and have support on my tracks from some of the biggest DJs in the world, including Marco Carola, East End Dubs, Chris Stussy, Jamie Jones, Adam Beyer, and More.
This year, I made it into Forbes 30 Under 30 - Europe Entertainment - https://www.forbes.com/profile/omar-meho/?list=30under30-europe-entertainment&sh=4d7f459d313d.
