Omilani

OMILANI - (oh-me-la-ni) means sacred sweet waters... it is a representation of life. With her raspy voice, sultry sound, and lyrics that paint a picture, Omilani has a refreshing sound for the music scene.

This Afro-Filipina songwriter has definitely proven she can hold center stage. Performing since the age of seven, Omilani has been featured in many programs. She is most noted for performing her original works of neo-soul music, folkloric dance, tropical fusion/salsa and hip hop. Her eclectic vibe has become a very popular among all age groups.

Her love of languages has blossomed into a musical explosion that bridges language and cultural boundaries. Mixing Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic and Yoruba into her repetoire has added a unique twist to her show. Omilani feels that this diversity of her work enables her to reach a wider audience.

She is especially proud of the reaction of the youth to her positive and inspirational messages. It is her intention to show case the art not the artist, to let you be impressed by the message not the messenger. Omilani hopes to inspire others to pick up a pen and write.
