Ommm’s story began in Paris in 2004 where the group, initially a quartet of singers Manon, Mélow, Mayon, Mathis, were enjoying regional success. However with the arrival of experienced beat-boxer, Sam, it wasn’t long before the group leaped to international fame after taking first prize at the International A Capella Competition in Leipzig 2009 after several successful European festival appearances.

Ommm take obvious pleasure in exploring all the possibilities of the human voice.
