About Queen Omega:
Her No Love Dubplate has put the Trinidadian singer Queen Omega under the spotlight. This unique and powerful voice of the international world-reggae music scene is back on the road in 2024.
Last summer, Queen Omega and Little Lion Sound created a worldwide hit with their dubplate on the legendary 'Next Episode' Riddim, which has accumulated over 120 million streams across all the social medias and has been acclaimed by Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre! The track is now available on all platforms under Sony Music label.
After 10 years, 2023 marked her return with a new album Freedom Legacy released on March 24th on Baco Records in which she reveals her multiple musical influences through authentic texts.
This album is built as a kind of collection of thoughts that she leaves to her fans and her children. A legacy that brings together her deepest questions about Human condition and relationships between people, in which she sings about her fights towards freedom and independence for women, with militant lyrics bringing hope to new generations. An introspective and musical journey on new roots, reggae and dancehall riddims.
Queen Omega is originally from San Fernando in Trinidad. Encouraged by her mother, she began appearing on local talent shows from the age of 9, wrote her own calypsos and even went so far as to rap on national television. She later sang backing vocals for producer Kenny Philips, accompanying many soca artists in the studio and on stage.
Raised in a musicians family, she quickly became passionate about reggae and dancehall music, but also grew up listening to soul artists like Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker and Whitney Houston, jazz and traditional music from Trinidad, foundations that will inspire her throughout her career.
