He was born on February 6 in Kumasi. President John Dramani Mahama just gave him a special job in the government. Rex Omar will help with the Blackstar Experience, a big project that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government is doing. The Blackstar Experience wants to show everyone how amazing Ghana's culture is. They will have festivals, art shows, and events where people from Ghana can meet people from other countries. This way, the whole world can see how great Ghanaian music, dance, and art are. Rex Omar is the perfect person to help with this because he has been making music for a very long time and knows so much about it. Rex Omar's music is really special because he mixes different kinds of sounds. He uses Afro-pop, jazz, and traditional rhythms from Ghana. People love his music in many countries, including Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Benin, Britain, France, and Togo. He has been making music for more than 20 years and has had many big hits. One of his most famous songs is "Abiba" from his album Dangerous. That album sold over 300,000 copies, which is a lot! Rex Omar is the leader of the nu-Ashanty Band, a big band with 12 members that puts on really exciting shows. They have played at important events like Jazz à Ouaga in Burkina Faso and Les Escales Festival in France. Many people think Rex Omar is one of the best musicians in Ghana. Throughout his career, Rex Omar has won many awards. In 2004, he got the Ghana Music Award for Best Contemporary Song of the Year. He was also nominated for a big award called the Kora Awards. Rex Omar is known for being brave and speaking up about problems in the Ghanaian music business. Sometimes this makes people happy, and sometimes it makes them upset. In 2006, he had a big comeback with a song called "Da Di Da Da," which showed everyone that he is still a very important musician. As a presidential staffer, Rex Omar will use everything he knows about music and art to help make Ghana's culture even more famous around the world. He will work hard to make sure that everyone can see how special and wonderful Ghana's traditions are. With Rex Omar's help, the Blackstar Experience will be a huge success and will make all Ghanaians very proud. [/QUOTE]
