Cairns-born and Bali-raised, 23-year-old rapper Old Mate Jackuar is bringing together his love of hip-hop, pop and R&B to create the sounds that he wants to hear. OMJ has always been around music – but hip-hop was where he saw his creativity blossom. Since then, he’s immersed himself in music, racking up hundreds of thousands of Spotify streams on his debut single ‘Run Away’, and continuing to hone his sound. OMJ feels at home performing in front of his already-impressive fanbase. He’s already played some huge shows, such as performing at 66 Records On Demand Fest in Sydney, Gypsylands Festival in Bali, as well as opening for Chicago’s ‘Warhol’ and touring with Indonesian label ‘Preachja’. In 2021 he released his debut album HIGHJACKED, which featured some much loved songs such as Nightmare, Lately and album namesake Highjacked featuring Sydney rapper Inferno. However, that’s just the start for OMJ, and he’s looking forward to 2022. New music coming very soon.
