Omar Akram has joined forces with The Eddie Nash Foundation allowing us to use his song "Angel of Hope" as a theme song for the foundation.

Please visit Omar's website, www.omarmusic.com, for more information and to purchase his new CD "Secret Journey."

Check out his CD review: "After Omar's last release "Free as a Bird" this musician became a force to be reckoned with. "Secret Journey" gives us the one- two combination hit that reflects a musician that is in full stride creating compositions laced with unbridled passion and poised grace. Rooted in world themes layered in smooth jazz and new age influences, Omar's music has become distinct yet highly accessible that this album has all the ingredients to be not only a chart topper but also a critic's darling." Michael Debbage, Solo piano publications.

The Eddie Nash Foundation has recently added a new segment on the home page for all media and videos.
