At the helm of the next generation of emerging electronic music artists, Moore Kismet is in a class of their own.

Moore Kismet has been included on Billboard’s 21 Under 21 annual list two years in a row (2020, 2021) and become the youngest artist to perform at Lollapalooza and EDC Las Vegas in 2021 — Moore Kismet demonstrates how to be unlike anyone else by being unapologetically yourself.

At just 7 years old, Omar began their musical journey by taking the family laptop and downloading Fruity Loops. Through years of YouTube tutorials and self-taught practice, Moore Kismet developed a production style that, in addition to their youth, has set them apart from other electronic music artists. Always ahead of people their own age, Omar contacted the prestigious Full Sail University at only 6 years old to enquire about enrollment.
