Hailing from Dansoman in Accra, Ghana, Alfred Omari well known as Di Omar is a dynamic and versatile artist who has made significant strides in the Afrobeat and Highlife music scenes.
His musical journey began in the culturally rich environment where the sounds of traditional Highlife intertwined with the rhythms of modern Afrobeats, shaping his unique sound and artistic identity.
With a deep passion for music that started at a young age, Di Omar was influenced by the legendary sounds of Highlife/Hiplife pioneers like Reggie Rockstone, Obrafour, Nana Ampadu, Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi, Okomfour Kwadee, Samini as well as the pulsating beats of contemporary Afrobeats icons. This blend of old and new, traditional and modern, is evident in his music, which seamlessly fuses the storytelling essence of Highlife with the energetic grooves of Afrobeats.

Di Omar is not just a musician; he is a storyteller and a cultural ambassador who uses his music to reflect the everyday experiences, joys, and struggles of life in Ghana. His lyrics, often written in a mix of English and local languages, resonate with audiences both in Ghana and beyond, capturing the essence of African life and the spirit of the continent.
Di Omar is set to release his highly anticipated EP titled “Nyankonton,” which means “Rainbow” in the Akan language. This EP is a celebration of diversity and unity, reflecting the many colors and influences that have shaped his musical journey. Each track on “Nyankonton” promises to showcase his versatility, with songs ranging from upbeat Afrobeats anthems to soulful Highlife melodies.
Ahead of the EP’s release, Di Omar will drop the first single titled ‘Molowo’ on 13th September, 2024. This single sets the tone for the entire project, offering a glimpse into the vibrant soundscape that “Nyankonton” will deliver. ‘Molowo’ is expected to captivate listeners with its infectious rhythm and powerful lyrics, solidifying Di Omar's reputation as a rising star in the music industry.
As Di Omar continues to rise in the music industry, he remains grounded in his roots, always drawing inspiration from his community in Dansoman. With “Nyankonton” and its lead single ‘Molowo,’ he aims to bring the vibrant sounds of Ghana to the world stage, sharing the rich musical heritage of his homeland with a global audience.
Di Omar is poised to make a lasting impact on the Afrobeats and Highlife genres, and with the release of “Nyankonton,” he is set to solidify his place as one of Ghana’s most promising musical talents.
