Omar

Omar Lye-Fook is a British soul singer from Balham who began his career in 1968 and has been releasing electronic music since 2010. The son of Byron Lye Fook and brother of Roland Lye Fook (Scratch Professor) and Samia Lye-Fook (Samia Hammer), Omar transitioned from his established soul and neo-soul background into house and techno production over a decade ago. He operates under the aliases Omar Lye-Fook and Omar Christopher Hammer, with 22 electronic releases documented since his first house track in April 2010.

Omar's electronic output spans deep house, tech house, and peak time driving techno, released primarily through Detroit's FXHE Records alongside Papa Records, BBE Music, and Blackboard. His tracks typically operate in house and techno tempo ranges, blending his soul music background with driving electronic production. FXHE Records, the label founded by Omar-S, has been his primary electronic outlet, positioning his work within Detroit's contemporary house scene. His sound represents a crossover from his R&B roots into club-focused electronic music, with releases scheduled through December 2025.
