Omar comments: “I’m so excited to be back in Birmingham performing at The Jam House! I will be playing my new album ‘Love In Beats’ which is an album of a labour of love between myself and my Grammy award winning brother. It is filled with powerful songs and mesmerising beats – that is my music and my brother’s beats. It’s going to be a night to remember!
