Live Music: Omar Phoenix

Omar Phoenix has a passion for the stage and a technique and showmanship on the electric violin that earned him recognition as one of Austin’s Top String Musicians for seven years in a row by the Austin Chronicle.

Phoenix is known for his work with local Latin-jazz sensation THE BREW and Austin’s “Queen of Soul” TAMECA JONES. Moreover, he has shared the stage with artists such as Jose Feliciano, Spanish and pop superstar Enrique Iglesias, Broadway legend Jennifer Holliday (“Dreamgirls”), and 80s rock icons Cyndi Lauper and Pat Benatar.

Omar’s self-taught style, which combines a classical influence with a Latin-jazz and Middle-Eastern flair and a sizzling hard-rock vibe, earned him a spot as featured soloist with Dreamsound Orchestra on its world tour. Omar was also the violinist and singer for nouveau flamenco guitarist BENISE, performing all over the US as well as internationally from Beirut, Lebanon to Beijing, China.
