Omkaro, aka Om, is a Visionary, mystical musician, spiritual healer, meditation teacher, life transformational guide, and music producer, specializing in dance music production..........He has spent a few decades on the spiritual path, ands has spent many years with different masters and teachers learning many healing modalities.

 

Born in South Africa, he took up guitar at a young age, and took up keyboards later.... At age 19, he left home and college, where he had started to study medicine. "I couldn't quite get into the program there." he says, "I knew a normal life wasn't for me. I needed to explore the world and myself." So he went out to travel the world. And himself! He spent many years traveling many continents and exploring both the outer and inner worlds. He ended up spending 11months in India with the enlightened master Osho, where he received the name Om. "It's a strange name to go around with" he says, "but nothing else seems to quite fit me!. At any rate, I¹m forever thankful for the experiences."                                                                                                                  

Om landed on U.S. shores in 1982, and has  lived there ever since,  his main bases being Maui, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Techno wizard...Digital Shaman... Trancemaster... these are some of the ways that people refer to Om. He was the programmer, keyboard player and groove central for Lost At Last, a well known tribal trance band originally from Maui..He considers his work to be that of a digital shaman. "When I'm up there on stage, I'm not only doing the keyboard/computer thing, but I'm also channeling energy." He is a spiritual healer, and music is just one of his vehicles. "I believe I've been involved in the healing arts for many lifetimes!" he says. "My life is about spiritual awakening and my work here seems to be about the same. Everything in the world is temporary. I want to express what is eternal..the human spirit. My music, and Lost's music is alchemical, or transformational in nature." Indeed, the name of his record company he created to market his first album was "Alchemical Music." He never did spend much time learning music theory or playing other peoples' music theory or playing other peoples' music. "I get turned on by channeling music. I just get out of the way as much as possible and let it just come thru me. That's where the power of the music comes from! And the fun!" He released his first critically-acclaimed solo new-age album "Earth Awakening" in 1990. It is an "Upbeat new age" CD he describes. It was the beginning of his vision to bridge new age music with rock, and later dance music. Since then he was influenced by techno, house, trance and ambient and has further developed his style. He was the cofounder, keyboard player and programmer for Lost At LAst in Maui Hawaii. "Most new age music," he says, "is centered around the upper chakras while most rock and techno is centred around the lower chakras. Trance sometimes addresses some higher and lower centres but it is hard to find music which resonates all the chakras simultaneously. My intention has always been to create this musical experience which opens all the energy centres. Lost At Last is doing this I believe."

 

Om released a solo album in 2012 under the nemae Om At Last -Dance Medicine. Since then has has taken a break in music production, but has recentlyu resumed at full speed ahead, and is currently working on a new CD and some epic dance music videos to some of his tunes. In teh near future he intends to put his band Om At LAst back together for live shows and touring. He is currently available for one on one healing sessions in person, on skype or zoom, and has recently started offering weekend groups with his work
