Omar Gabriel Delnevo (b. 1996, they/she) is musician, multidisciplinary artist and cultural producer. Born from Jamaican-British and Italian parents, they grew up in Brazil and in Italy successively. They trained in classical piano and composition at the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan, and successively obtained an MA in Sound Design for Film at NFTS London. Weaving from their classical piano experience, their work integrates the attention to sound as an organic system, and the interest in sonic complexity, to the critical fabulations of a queer black diasporic body. Stemming from both research work, craft, ancestral technologies and instinct, their practice is an intersection of music, sound art and body perfomance, blossoming into many other medias, such as dance, film, installation and visual. The unlearning of western academia and the successive transformative process have been two fundamental aspects of their practice to explore what emerges of our own histories as Afro-diasporic bodies in a Western dominated context such as that of experimental performative music. Their practice focuses on decolonial and contracolonial approaches, delving into matters of refraction of identity and memory, both personal and collective, to celebrate and critically engage their community. 

Their curatorial and producer work comes both from their research and their direct engagement with social and activists communities, more specifically POC and queer communities in Italy and Europe. They collaborated with several art spaces and collectives, such as Archive Books and since 2022 has been co-producing Blackn[è]ss Fest, a festival dedicated to the Italian black and brown youth in Milan. 

They have performed for various artistic contexts as a pianist, composer, sound artist and/or performer in several contexts including the Venice Biennale, Milano Musica Festival, for SAVVY Contemporary, Spazio Griot, SPRINT Milano, and Darmstadt Ferienkurse, among others. As a sound designer they have worked on a variety of films of many genres which have been selected for numerous festivals including Sundance Film Festival, Berlinale, Locarno Film Festival, BFI London Film Festival, Grierson Awards, Edinburgh International Film Festival and Watersprite Film Festival among others.
