Osmani Soundz is a British Asian Electronic music producer / DJ who began his career in 1988 back then known as Osmani Knights Soundz.
It all started for him in the basements, community halls and youth clubs of the east end of London. Growing up surrounded by the culture of 'sound systems' he began perfecting his craft, working with his crew of DJs, Dancers, MCs and Graffiti artists. These early influences paved the way for the creation of a truly innovative and unique sound, leading to a residency at Talvin Singh's legendary Anokha Club Sessions at the Blue Note in Hoxton, London in the mid-'90s.
A perfect home!
A pioneer in the UK Asian Underground scene, he has been creating and playing cutting edge electronic music for more than three decades. His eclectic style blends western and eastern electronica, leading the way for Eastern drum and bass, experimental breakbeats and dubstep.

A Winner of the Brit Asia TV Music Awards (The Nasha Experience) for Best Alternative Act in 2011 this award highlighted the importance of the sound and creativity and his influence on the industry and on the genre.
