Omar akram concerts tonight

Grammy Award-winning Omar Akram: "Most people think that if you have enough money to do a project, then you can succeed.

I learned the hard way - money alone is not enough. It's a combination of your talent, vision, hard work and resources"

“Weiner: Can you share the most interesting story that occurred to you in the course of your music career?

Akram: I spent over a year working on my fourth album, “Echoes of Love.” When it was completed, I reluctantly submitted to be considered for a Grammy Award.

When it received a Grammy nomination, I was very surprised and of course, ecstatic! So on the day of the awards ceremony, I honestly didn’t think I had a chance to win, especially with the amazing line up of nominees in my category.

When the announcer called my name as the winner for Best New Age Album, I couldn’t believe it! I became the first Afghan-American in history to win a Grammy. This moment changed my life!
