Debut EP "From Then" available now.

Take equal parts jazz, neo soul, and ’90s R&B, mix thoroughly, and you’ve got Kristan Omor, a sultry, raspy-voiced alto who sings straight from the heart. Having spent most of her life in the American South, Kristan grew up immersed in the blues and jazz scenes of Memphis and New Orleans. She started singing at the age of eight, when her grandmother would ask her give impromptu concerts in the living room, and she’s been a performer ever since. When she was a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Kristan joined the a cappella group The Inspiration. During her time with the group, she had the honor of performing at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., at two of UPenn’s commencement ceremonies, and for the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Kristan also served as the group’s director in her senior year. When she wasn’t singing a cappella, Kristan was rocking crowds as the lead vocalist of the West Philly hip-hop band, Like Mindz. She also started writing and recording original music and performing as a solo artist around the city. Without a doubt, Kristan’s college experience in the Philadelphia area shaped her musical identity. After college, Kristan relocated to Columbus, Ohio and started entering various music competitions and expanding her audience. Her original song “25th Hour” was ranked no. 4 in the Midwest Region in Andre Harrell’s Superstar of Soul Search, and she was invited to sing for Mr. Harrell and guest judge Keith Washington in the Midwest regional finals in Detroit. In addition, Kristan made it through the 2011 Chicago tryouts for The X Factor but was cut just before the televised auditions. Kristan then spent the next five years performing with several different R&B and jazz bands and started doing corporate events and weddings around the United States.

(Xana Romeo)
  Xana Romeo has emerged in this time as a prolific reggae siren with a powerful and distinctive message that resonates strongly among her generation of revolutionary youth. Awakening the senses with the contrast of her soothing melodies and energetic instrumentation, Xana flutters soulfully atop cool dub rhythms and electrifies the beat with potent lyrics that energise hearts and minds.
 
Born Azana Makeda Smith on August 26, 1994 in the historic Kingston community of Greenwich Town, Xana Romeo is a singer in possession of a voice and alluring presence as captivating as her mythical name.
 
The young reggae siren’s musical education began at a tender age under the keen eyes and ears of her father, veteran Reggae singer Max Romeo, a wise teacher who encouraged his youngest daughter at every step along her natural progression.  “I look up to my dad as an idol in the music business as he's the one who inspired me to do music for the people”, Xana says. After years of patient development this child of the music stands poised to share her signature vocal stylings with the world.  Faithfully advancing along her musical path, Xana’s steady rise as a Roots, Dub, and Reggae artiste has been attracting positive attention from music lovers across the globe. Her talents extend beyond singing to also include song writing and the visual arts. This commitment to multi-dimensional creativity and self-sustainment stems from the example set by her father.
 
 “Given what I know of his substantial musical catalogue as well as his way of life, I can say from my heart he lives a life that one can model. His philosophy and ‘livity’ is close to the teachings of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, and this gives inspiration along my own journey.” 
 
Having grown in her musical expression as singer, composer, and arranger, and after years of gaining exposure from touring successfully with her family, Xana Romeo is now ready to share her music and message with all corners of the globe. 
 
 “The purpose of my music is the message. When someone listens to Xana Romeo's songs I want them to feel inspired and motivated to carry out any personal self-cleansing by the renewal of their minds.”
 
With a stream of impressive live performances and the release of several standout singles over the years including ‘Rate Rasta’, and ‘Righteous Path (Our Father)’, 2016 saw the release of ‘Mercy Please’, the first three (3) singles from her debut album.
 
True to its reggae roots, the powerfully delivered message music from her upcoming ‘Wake Up’ project pulsates from the speakers, and is already creating tremendous excitement for the album’s November 2016 release date.   As we observe Xana Romeo’s steady rise from the pool of rich musical talent found in Jamaica, we can see the increasing momentum of her journey as well as the growth of her gift as a storyteller. Her music stands as testament to the resilience of the divine feminine spirit and the importance for this energy to be shared throughout the world.
 
There is much to look forward to and many more stories to be told by this enchanting songstress. Journey with her along her musical mission
