Show Ya Love! *********************************************************** Omar shows up in the May edition of Christian Radio Weekly! Interview with Christian Radio Weekly Magazine CRW: I understand you write your own songs. What is that process like Omar: It s kinda like walking outside in the rain with a cup in your hand trying to get enough to drink. Sometimes God just pours right into me what He wants to say and other times I get a little taste today and a little more tomorrow. CRW: Why do you like being a songwriter Omar: It s a chance to share [my] experiences with God. So many people can only imagine having an experience while others have it on a regular basis while still others don t even know God wants to share something so personal with them. It s a chance to say He s not so distant and expose or shed some light on this opportunity in life. CRW: How would you describe your music and your sound to someone who hasn t heard you Omar: (sings) I m a little bit country, I m little bit rock and roll! Sorry I m a little crazy, but seriously I repeatedly hear Darius Rucker and Mac Powell. I make no claims, but it s a compliment to be mentioned in the same sentence with them. CRW: What song has the most meaning to you on the album Omar: Oh boy that s tough - I think Intimacy holds one of those experiences I mentioned I wanted to share. When God convinces you He s enough everything else just seems to vanish for awhile. CRW: Your debut single Dead Man s Find rocketed its way up the IH Top 40 chart. How did you feel when you received the news Omar: I started grinning like a kindergartener with a piece of candy [That] he s not supposed to have!
