Omar Musa's New album launching

this event has ended

“RAPPER, POET, AUTHOR AND VISUAL ARTIST, MUSA IS ARGUABLY ONE OF MOST EXCITING CREATORS IN AUSTRALIA RIGHT NOW.”
—The New York Times Style Magazine: Australia

The Fullness is Omar Musa's third full length album, an opus of sounds and styles, music and poetry. With long-term collaborator Papertoy at the helm, Omar explores themes such as environmental destruction, addiction, grief, searching for a homeland – and ultimately – rejuvenation.

Omar, who now divides his time between New York City and Kota Kinabalu, says that his expansive new album, The Fullness, was “made in joy, polished with grief.”

"I've toured with my friend Kae Tempest a number of times, and I took inspiration from the way they use poetry in their music and blur the lines between different styles. I wanted to do my own Queanbeyan/Borneo take on this borderless approach to genre, and mix rap, poetry, pop and soul — and then get really, really weird with it."

At his last concert in Kota Kinabalu last February, Omar Musa delivered an unforgettable performance. His soulful lyrics resonated deeply, weaving tales of love, loss and resilience that captured hearts. From the moment he took the stage, his infectious energy spread like wildfire.

Join us for an evening of pure magic and musical brilliance you won't soon forget!
