Omar Musisko is a songwriter/singer who has a knack for creating songs that sneak into your ears and turn a gear or two in your brain before working their way down to put a little squeeze on your heart. Just as he made his way from Pittsburgh to San Diego, California, he's moved through genres from funk to punk to indie folk with the ease and grace of a seasoned traveler. His latest project is a partnership with Amy Day called The Spiritual Motels that is clearly working beautifully on every musical level.
Our conversation takes us through a few stops on his musical path and touches on his drive to make music, how songs speak to him, and how he makes time for creating in the midst of being a husband, father and a school psychologist.
Omar joined me in spite of some audio difficulties and having to take a short break to comfort a child who was scared by the family dog, so I was very grateful for his time and commitment! I think you'll find that he is as thoughtful in discussing music as he is in creating it.
