Omer Fedi (Hebrew : עומר פדי; born 25 March 2000) is an Israeli record producer, songwriter and musician from Tel Aviv. He has co-written, produced and performed on "Mood" by 24kGoldn ft. Iann Dior, "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" by Lil Nas X, "Unholy" by Sam Smith and Kim Petras and "Stay" by the Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber, all of which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, [1] [2] [3] the Kid Laroi and Juice Wrld's platinum single "Go!" [4] and Machine Gun Kelly's Tickets to My Downfall album which peaked at number one on the Billboard 200. [5] He was included on XXL magazine's list of the "best hip hop producers of 2020". [6] He has been nominated and won several awards such as the Grammys, iHeart Radio Music Awards, BMI Awards and Variety Awards.
Omer Fedi's father, Asher Fedi, is a drummer who MTV described as "one of the most accomplished and well-respected drummers in Israel". Asher taught Fedi to play drums from a young age, however at ten he began pursuing guitar instead, inspired by Drake Bell's character in Drake & Josh . [2] At age 16, Fedi and his father moved to Los Angeles in order to find further musical opportunities, where Fedi then enrolled in Calabasas High School. Joining his high school's jazz ensemble, his playing soon began drawing audiences from outside of the regular parent attendees. A jazz clinician he worked with as part of the ensemble said Fedi "could speak through the instrument" when he played guitar. [2] In 2018, he entered the Reno Jazz Festival, where he won the "Outstanding Performer" award, against over 9,000 other contestants. Within the following year, he was approached by songwriter Sam Hook to collaborate. [2] Fedi says that he had never written a song until then, but he worked with Hook every day after school. [2]
Working with Sam Hook, Fedi began writing songs for artists like Ella Mai. He started working with Yungblud shortly after he finished high school and began branching out to other artists as well. [2] Fedi soon met 24kGoldn at a party, then they started writing together just a week later. [2] Beginning in March 2020, Fedi began performing on Machine Gun Kelly's COVID-19 lockdown session, where he covered songs such as "Misery Business" [7] [8] and "Waiting on the World to Change". [9] On 31 March 2020, "City of Angels" by 24kGoldn was released, which Fedi co-wrote, produced and performed on. [10] On 12 June, "Go!" by the Kid Laroi featuring Juice Wrld was released, which Fedi produced. [11] [12] On the same day, I'm Gone by Iann Dior was released, which Fedi produced and composed. [13] Fedi co-wrote and performed on Mood by 24kGoldn featuring Iann Dior, which was released on 24 July 2020, which peaked at number one and remained in the charts for 33 weeks. [14] On the same day, the Kid Laroi's mixtape F*ck Love was released, which Fedi produced and helped compose. On November 6, "Without You" was released along with the "F*ck Love" deluxe titled F*ck Love Savage, which Fedi co-wrote, composed and produced. [15] The song peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100. [16]
He performed guitar and bass and co-produced on Machine Gun Kelly's album Tickets to My Downfall , which was released in September 2020, and peaked at number one on the Billboard 200. [17] In December 2020, Yungblud's album Weird! was released, which Fedi performed on. [18]
Lil Nas X's song "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)", was released on March 26, 2021, making its debut at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. [19] Lil Nas X proceeded to release his full length Montero album which Fedi executive produced. Lead single "That's What I Want" continued to go #1 on the Top 40 Chart. [20]
The Kid Laroi later released "Without You" with Miley Cyrus which Fedi performed at SNL on May 8, 2021, alongside Miley and Laroi. [19]
Fedi worked with The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber on their single "Stay" (released July 9, 2021.) "Stay" peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, along with the Billboard Global 200 and spent seven weeks at the top of the chart, becoming the second longest running song of all-time on the chart and spent the most weeks at No. 1 in pop radio history. [21] [22] [23] On 2 September 2022 Sam Smith and Kim Petras released "Unholy" which Fedi co-wrote and co-produced. "Unholy" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to win a grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. [24]
On December 9, 2022, SZA released her song "Special" which Fedi also co-wrote and co-produced on. It was released as a part of SZA's album SOS which debuted at the #1 on the Top 200 and went on to win the Grammy for Best Progressive R&B Album. [25] [26]
In 2024, he was a co-producer on Rose and Bruno Mars' APT which went to #1 on the Billboard Global 200. [27] Additionally, he co-produced the track "B2B" and "360" for Charli XCX and wrote/produced the track BMF on SZA's SOS album. [28] [29] [30]
