From recording his own records at just twelve years old to collaborating with the biggest names in music, LA-native Iman Omari is an artistic force to be reckoned with. His consistent dedication to the craft and ability to evolve set his discography apart from the rest. I was lucky enough to hop on a call with the 2X Grammy award winning producer to learn more about his journey as an artist, how he’s navigated the ins and outs of the entertainment industry, and his mentorship for Serato x TEC Leimert x Undefeated’s 'Audio Affect Series'—an immersive workshop designed to empower the next generation of Black and Brown producer talent in South Central Los Angeles. A transcript of the interview can be found on our BLOG as well as links to all of Iman's pages. Enjoy!
