Dean Omori

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Hearing 'Cavatina' the theme song from Michael Cimino's film 'The Deer Hunter' played by John Williams. Being completely distorted by what music could make me feel, 8 years old.. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? ANOHNI, Antony and the Johnsons, Antony and the Johnsons Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Boatman's Call (2011 - Remaster) Tom Waits, Bone Machine (2023 Remaster) Antony and the Johnsons because of its ambiguous beauty and range. Bone Machine where Tom distorts my vision of what music can be. And Nick's stripped back to nothing beautiful imagination and songwriting. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Charismatic Bouquet” This song brings both elements of my songwriting to life. It is both lyrically profound and musically stylish. It was written in lockdown and provided me the freedom to escape what was happening around me. I believe my soul was never more on show. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Winning the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) award for best song and short film "How Can You Sleep" Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? To use my words and music to influence and inspire people. My work is about injustice and social change.
