2014omri From the depths of the Midwest comes 2014omri (Omri Smith) a upcoming artist.



Born and raised in a small town in Ohio and a not so comfortable childhood Omri would frequently get into trouble, fights in school, and had to deal with a lack of understanding of his conditions on a mental aspect (ADHD, anxiety, and also being on the spectrum to a degree) When talking to Omri he will tell you that through all of that he always had music to go to and distract his constant restless mind, so he was genuinely happy with life. He quickly fell in love with playing the piano, and guitar things of this nature to get things off his mind and before he knew it he was recording and writing songs everyday. Growing up in a small house with his two little sisters, grandmother, and aunt never made this easy so by the time he was 17 he had dropped out and moved out but honestly seemed more like he was kicked out from what I’ve heard. He then moved into his fathers house from ages 18-20 and when ever he talks about this time period he always addresses it in a very painful manner I assume his father wasn’t the most friendly. Even through these hardships he will still tell you he was happy because god still allowed him to make music to escape that reality. He is now currently 21 years of age and out of these situations due to his persistence on chasing his dreams and becoming a role model for other individuals like himself that have been through similar hardships. Through his music he plans on reaching every soul that needs touched.

the meaning behind 2014

.

when ever you ask omri what 2014 means prepare for a deep and long conversation. 2014 was a year in his life when all the beautiful colors and purity from the world was stripped from him. 2014 can be 2012, 1997 it doesn’t really matter it’s a period of time in ones life when something causes all of that beauty to disappear. “It’s a very personal year the most personal year in someone’s life” he will often say “and it’s all about bringing back all that love we experienced before” a truly powerful message and I truly believe in this kid and the words he uses to touch other.
