Hailing from Long Island, New York Zel Omar has become a success story in his own way. Since the age of 10 he has developed skills as a lyricist, producer and audio engineer. He started recording music at age 13 under the guidance of DJ Johnny Juice at a local studio. It was there he learned how to make beats and engineer for himself and others. After graduating from Full Sail University with a Bachelor in Recording Arts he has expanded his potential within the music industry.
 
Omar specializes in Hip Hop & R&B however he experiments with other genres like Pop to widen his audience. His college experience has also allowed him to become his own director and editor for multiple outlets of entertainment within his circle.
 
Zel Omar has not only accomplished that but has also become an excelling independent businessman in the past couple of years. In 2014, Omar established a media production company called Domination, which specializes in providing aspiring artists with services like studio time, video production, photo-shoots and more.

CocoPilots were born after Sari & Shamo met in Southeast Asia, 2017 and decided to travel together to explore and share their mutual passion for music.
As street musicians, their music infuses a lot of flavours from different styles and languages, exploring and expressing the emotions of human nature. 
Their music is therefore authentic, improvised, intense and emotional.
What about their Sound?
...... a mixture acoustic soul, latino, and acoustic reggae, played with a lot of passion, good humour and complicity.
