Oomah

Born and raised in Coastal Massachusetts, Oomah migrated to Denver in 2011. The sonic landscape that Oomah created is a synthesis of place, self, collaboration and emotion. After garning success in high school under the alias “Miniweapon”(2009), Jake Hall decided to pursue oomah a project Extricated from the motives of main stream EDM, something he felt was “more connected.” In his words “I wanted to make something personal, something that was an extension of myself. I didn’t want to keep trying to create a product, because it didn’t feel right to try and force art. I felt If i continue doing something solely because I love it, it will support me, not immediately and maybe not monetarily, But with joy and the gratification of doing what I love, and making others happy in the process.” To quantify the sound of Oomah imagine the sounds of Lapalux, thrifworks, and russ liquid. Then imagine them all doing a tune together, somewhere in the middle you would find Oomah. His use of jazz chords, big etherial pads, and crunchy gear churning percussion create a musical journey of intrigue, groove, and relaxation.
