A girl on the decks is sexy, but a chick who constantly rocks the party: that's hot. Don't be fooled by Omi's signature Swarvorvski crystal headphones, she's more than meets the eye. At five-foot-ten, this stunning brunette has secured residences at NYC's top clubs, liek Marquee, Suzy Wong's, Touch, Providence in AC, and Southampton hotspot Dune. She's made fans of people in high places —including former U.S. president Bill Clinton, whose people, after hearing her spin at Esquire's 75th Anniversary party, asked her to DJ at his Millennium Network Event co-hosted by Wyclef Jean at the Hammerstein Ballroom. As American Idols go, she also opened for Kelly Clarkson at Madison Square Garden.

After headlining three tours around Southeast Asia and an impressive catalog of original remixes and mashups, Omi is operating at full stride. She DJs alongside buzzed-about celebs, like Kid Rock, Common, and Carmen Elecktra, as well as hip-hop legends, including Doug E. Fresh, Grandmaster Flash, and DMC. She also does music consulting for retail stores, restaurants, and lounges, as well as the occasional in-store appearance. This holiday, shop to her handpicked playlist at American Eagle's "Martin & Osa" Luxury Stores.

Underneath those long lashes, sly smile, and skin-tight designer jeans, Omi sports a a neurobiology-philosophy degree from Columbia University where she wrote her senior thesis on the effect of hip-hop and language on social consciousness. She is classicially trained in piano and drums and has completed the Institute of Audio Research. When not behind the decks, Omi is busy at work in the studio.

Her trademark high-energy mashups of hip-hop, rock, and elektro house have made her a downtown icon and gained her respect from top DJs, high-profile promoters, and loyal fans. Much preparation and a touch of magic keep the heads turning, the ears listening, and the bodies moving —Omi loves what she does and it comes through.
