Om’Mas Keith is a Grammy Award winning record producer, musician, composer, engineer, and songwriter from Queens, New York.

Catapulted by his own experiments in avant-garde jazz, Keith has shaped the soundtrack of our lives through his collaborations with Frank Ocean, Erykah Badu, John Legend, Jay Z, Rick Ross, and others. Recently re-elected Governor of the Recording Academy, Los Angeles Chapter, Keith joined the delegation of music industry professionals who successfully lobbied the US House of Representatives to unanimously pass the Music Modernization Act. Keith continues to be a committed advocate for musicians in need through the his work with MusiCares.
