We had the good fortune of connecting with Omar Rios and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Omar, career-wise, where do you want to be in the end?
My end goal is to hopefully one day see my music make an impact on those that need something to forget about the day and Jam out to music that makes em feel better. If one person came up to me to tell me that my music saved their life that makes very happy!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve been self taught on singing and drumming since I was 13. I listen to the songs by ear which is how I learn how to sing and play drums. I never too drum lessons, but I always watched a lot of rock music videos and live concerts when I was young and got influenced by the bands that inspire me to wanted to play music and I still enjoy it to this day! I always wanted to be in a band, but I knew for sure it would come with challenges so I made a full commitment to it and never stopped. When I started “Mizaki” I knew I have something special here and Im willing to see how far I can take it and see where this goes. I’m hoping one day the whole world gets to hear it!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The best places to go out to for meare music venues that not only have the best spots to go see a show at, but awesome spots for local bands to play at like Scout Bar, The End, Trip Six, The White Swan, BFE Rock Club, Black Magic Social Club, Eighteen Ten Ojeman and 19th Hole.
