THE BIG 'O'

The Big 'O' is American born with a Lebanese background which he thanks his mom and dad for. Big ‘O’ doesn’t know where or what he would be doing without music; since before he could remember radio has been his biggest love.

The Big ‘O’ worked at a restaurant as one of his first jobs and was planning to take the lawyer or doctor route one day but something else caught his attention. He started out mixing and hosting at the hottest clubs in Florida and later entered the radio world. The Big ‘O’ worked (and on some occasions even lived!) at radio stations close to Miami, did radio in the Spring Break Capital of the world, Panama City Beach, with the highest rated afternoon show, and also worked at 933FLZ in Tampa. It can't be said that he doesn't have a solid music background!

Big ‘O’ has helped break artists like Pitbull, Flo-Rida and Mims. He has received awards for Music Director of the Year from 2004, and 2006-2010 from the US SIN awards. He has interviewed Rihanna, Pitbull, T-Pain, Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo, Lloyd, Dj Khaled, and more.

Omar got his name Big ‘O’ by friends for being Outrageous from time to time. Big ‘O’ moved from Miami, Ft. Myers, Naples to Dubai in 2010 as music manager and presenter on Virgin Radio Dubai. He moved here to be closer to his parents (aww!) and to work at one of the top radio stations. Big ‘O’ is a single guy who loves the Marina and is just getting to know Dubai. He is looking forward to all the good things to come living in such a great place!
