Passionate about music since he was born, it is his love for the electronic music which drew his attention to the role of the DJ and eventually led him to the rave scene.
Now acting since 2000 as a DJ in different types of events and venues, it is the Montreal electronic music scene that Omni calls his home. Very busy in this scene in the past few years, he has played at major Montreal clubs like Parking Nightclub, Aria Nightclub and Circus Afterhours. He has been seen mixing at events like Ray Junior's Apocalypse 2005, Evolution Radar One 8 in the bunker and Intense in Quebec city. He is currently a resident DJ for Akarien Production's Electro Chic events at the SAT.
Always evolving, Omni's musical style is very eclectic, gathering influences from rock, industrial and even trance while mainly being recognised as Electro. The result is a musical exploration and a varied track selection that ensures a fresh sound night after night.
Also a producer, Omni put his DJing experience to good use to create a smashing live performance that he performed for the first time at Rewire 3 with great success. He also signed in 2007 a contract with Elektrofone records, label with which he now has two releases: "Rewire EP" and "Machine is Rhythm EP". He also signed with ontarian label 4Play Trax who released his remix of Sointu's track "Rebel" in October 2007 and his remix of Che Dubois's track "Feels Good" in March 2008.
Early in 2008, he signed a contract with french record label Absolut Freak Records for the release of his track "Rocking Monster" on vinyl. 2008 also saw the birth of Tasty Bytes Records, a new project by Omni and Alice & The Serial Numbers. This digital label will see releases by its creators and like-minded artists. The upcoming year promises to be very busy for Omni with more releases with Tasty Bytes and live performances in Europe.
