Meet Omer B: The Instrumental Rock-Funk Visionary Bridging ATL & TLV

In the expansive world of instrumental music, where every riff tells a story and every groove paints a picture, one artist is making waves with a unique blend of rock and funk that feels both timeless and cutting-edge. His name? Omer B — a genre-blending guitarist and producer whose sound is as global as his story.

Born and raised between ATL (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) and TLV (Tel Aviv, Israel), Omer B’s musical journey has been anything but conventional. His story isn’t just about playing guitar or writing songs — it’s about transformation, discovery, and an unrelenting passion for creativity that speaks through strings and rhythms.

From Engineer to Artist: The Unlikely Beginning

Long before stepping into the spotlight as a musician, Omer B was deeply immersed in the music world — just from behind the scenes. Working as a recording engineer, he spent years understanding the intricacies of sound, gear, production, and performance from a technical perspective. But something shifted. What began as a passion for perfecting other people’s sounds evolved into a personal calling to make his own.

“I was a recording engineer many years ago,” Omer shares. “After a long time in the studio, I slowly fell in love with making music and playing the guitar.” This turning point marked the beginning of a new chapter — one where he would no longer be just a craftsman of sound, but a creator of it.

A Sound That Can’t Be Boxed In

If you try to label Omer B’s music, you’ll quickly find it resists confinement. His sonic signature lands somewhere between instrumental rock and funk, with rich grooves, vibrant energy, and melodies that evoke deep emotion — all without the need for words. It’s a style that feels cinematic and soulful, combining raw musicianship with modern flair.

“I’d describe my sound as mostly instrumental rock-funk,” he explains. “It’s all about the groove and the feel. You could say it lives somewhere between The Beatles and Vulfpeck.”

And he’s not exaggerating — Omer B’s music manages to draw on the warmth of classic rock while infusing the tight, infectious rhythm and soul of funk. His guitar tone alone nods to a legacy of icons, but his compositions feel entirely fresh.

Influences that Shaped the Vision

Like any great artist, Omer’s sound is a mosaic of musical influences, and his list reads like a Hall of Fame roster of guitar gods and innovators: David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler, Cory Wong, and the list goes on. These artists didn’t just inspire him to play — they taught him to tell stories without singing a single lyric.

You can hear echoes of Gilmour’s emotional phrasing, Beck’s adventurous spirit, and Knopfler’s subtle storytelling in Omer’s work. But there’s also a modern, groove-driven influence brought in through his admiration of funk artists like Cory Wong — a vibe that shines through in both his tone and his rhythmically tight arrangements.

The Freedom of Being Independent

In an era where many artists chase record deals for exposure or validation, Omer B has carved his path differently — by staying independent.

“I enjoy the freedom of being independent,” he says. “It gives me full control of my art, who I work with, and how I release music. There’s no pressure to chase trends or follow rules — just to create what feels real.”

That freedom has allowed him to collaborate with high-level musicians across the globe, blend genres unapologetically, and release music on his own terms — all while building a dedicated and organic following.

Collaborations That Speak Volumes

One of the most impressive aspects of Omer B’s musical journey is the caliber of artists he collaborates with. For his upcoming single “Llama Chicken Groove”, he teamed up with legendary bass player Yossi Fine — known for his work with David Bowie, Lou Reed, and countless others — as well as international drumming sensation Oded Kafri. These aren’t just any session musicians; they’re elite players who chose to collaborate with Omer because of his unique vision and infectious sound.

“I’m happy that a lot of pro musicians are into my music and are happy to play with me,” Omer says humbly. “That’s one of the things I’m most proud of.”
