Grammy Award-winning artist Omar Akram

“Destiny” is the highly anticipated new album by Grammy-winning artist Omar Akram. The album, co-produced by Walter Afanasieff, immediately landed at #4 on the Amazon’s Hot New Releases for New Age Music.

After a brief hiatus, Grammy winner Omar Akram released his highly anticipated album “Destiny” under his recently launched label Twinbrook Entertainment. “Here I Am,” the first single and accompanying video with the only vocal track of the album and with vocals of the legendary producer Walter Afanasieff, who also co-produced the album.

In 2013, he became the first Afghan American to win a Grammy for the same category with his album ECHOES OF LOVE, a milestone that inspires musicians wor
