Omar Vargas aka OmiiDoe hails from Queens, NY. Coming from the city that never sleeps, he became heavily influenced by artists such as Big Pun, Nas and Eminem. OmiiDoe grew up in an era of hip-hop where the lyrics mattered more than just flowing on a hot beat.

The name OmiiDoe came from his gaming lifestyle. Close friends were already in the habit of calling him "Omii" and when online playing multiplayer with his brother Geo, his gaming skills earned himself the name OmiiDoe from the phrase "ugh that Omii tho!" Since then, he has used that as a name for all his social media (ThatOmiiDoe) and of course simply "OmiiDoe" for his artistry name. He's also referred to as "OD" for short.

 

Gaming has been a very unique factor in his music career. OmiiDoe has been gaming since the NES and SEGA Genesis were the hottest things in the market. While growing up, the adults believed video games were a child's waste of time and they should explore the outdoors instead. Unfortunately, exploring the outdoors wasn’t a favorable thing to do considering the kind of neighborhoods OmiiDoe grew up in. He goes as far as saying "video games saved my life!" Being an advent gamer his inspiration in making music also comes from the imagination of a gamer and incorporates his gaming nature throughout his music, and his tattoos says it all.

 

OmiiDoe was a radio personality at Buffalo State College for 5 years while obtaining his BA in Media Productions. He has appeared in music videos and even runs his own YouTube channel called "ThatOmiiDoe." And through Work Art Ent., OmiiDoe completed his first project, being an EP called "Reset." The passion and focus of OmiiDoe's music comes from a place within that is real and full of experiences that many can relate to, and he only hopes to share it with you all.
