  • Omar's buzz has grown to an undeniable volume within the last year, touching the FADER FORT stage and catching the ears of new fans across the country. To mark this special moment in his life, FADER visited Omar's home to see him and his crew prep, physically and mentally, for one of their biggest shows yet. Years To Come includes sentimental moments with his dad, a late night meal with some friends at Ruben's, rehearsal, and then the drive over to The Metro. It all pays off with a sold out performance none of them will be likely to forget.

    I think every hispanic kid in here would want nothing more than approval and support of their parents. Omar is doing big things man, congrats to him

      Right!? It kind of sucks but all I could think was that how in the world can I gain this much approval?

      Every first gen kid wants that 😭 sometimes it feels like nothing is enough, but at least it drives us to do more.

  • @alexcantsleep_
    @alexcantsleep_ 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Just saw (and met) Omar at his last show in Philly, and I was honestly shocked at how down to Earth he was, yet confident in his performing abilities to the max. Definitely one of the coolest cats in the music industry, and he's making not just his family, but all of us proud!
    It's my dream to be able to one day play a song or make any kind of music with people I could only hope to be halfway as good as, like Omar for example lol. Thank you for showing us that it's possible to live your dream!

    I’m very proud of Omar ! Watching this in 2022 close to 2023 is crazy! Very much happy for his success! Around late 2018 I discovered him around 2019 he was my favorite artist! Glad I got to see him perform in Atlanta 2019! And this year I got to see him in May and literally not too long ago this month (November)! 🥹🥹 Omar has grown as an artist!!!! 😮‍💨

    I can’t wait to see him in November man, I’ve never felt more alive and idk safe I guess till I discovered Omar Apollo and as a gay Latino myself it’s such a euphoric feeling having to relate to him with like idk sometimes I think he’s my soulmate or something a lot of angel numbers have been appearing in my life ever since I started listening to his music and now I’m meeting him in November idk how to explain it I love him tho
