The annual search for that perfect Mother's Day gift led us to Queen Amina's shop. As we entered,…read morewe found the queen holding court alongside her king. "Sister Amina!" I called out. She welcomed us inside. As we looked around, we knew our quest was over. Sister Amina quickly understood our mission. She asked how old our special mother was and then suggested a perfect gift. We made a cashless exchange that felt like we were getting away with something special. The quality of the items far exceeded their price. Sister Amina has been a beloved merchant in Leimert Park for almost 20 years and is one of the last two vendors still serving the Leimert Park Village. When I asked her how she would describe her shop, she told me it was an experience. Her store features designs that merge elements of the African Diaspora, bringing together influences from West and East Africa, as well as America. So, on your next quest for a gift for your Queen or King, be sure to stop by Queen Amina's. And don't forget to tell her that Brother Omar sent you!

There is nothing more important then to let the student work, learn, and express their true relationship with music, this academy is like therapy, when my daughter was there, local. She was 9, then onto band @ 13, full key length piano, then to Xylo and now writing. Forcing no, nuturing yes!!! Make the call, stop by.

What was great was I already had some panels and curtains from my last place and said he would include installing them in addition to my custom made ceiling clouds. He charged $90 per hour. Overall I am so happy with the results. The sound quality of my live stream is much easier to control and his team was so thorough and professional. They even gave me some tips on sound reflections and how to manage them. 10 out of 10 highly recommend. Would hire them again for my next project.

My initial meeting with John was back in 2022 while I was living in a rental house, so I didn't want to do too much, but I definitely needed some sound treatment. So I texted my sound engineering buddy if he could recommend someone, and he texted me 2 seconds later saying, CALL JOHN HUNTER!! So I did!! :) Our FT consultation was fantastic, and John and I hit it off right out of the gate. John is an expert at his craft, and such a pleasure to work with and does not push to sell you more of anything. John looked the room over and suggested what I should go with, and let me decide what I finally went with. It's also always been hardcore hassle free working with JHA. John is the Maestro of sound treatment in my book!! He completely understood my situation in the rental, so I just went 2 bass traps and 1 wall panel, but I assured him I would be reaching back out once we bought a home. Fast forward to June 2023, my family and I bought a home, and I called John right away!! We did another consultation, and I told John I wanted to get craZy for my new studio!! So John hooked it up over our FT meeting, and his sketches were absolutely fantastic!! This time I had his team install everything, and they were also both absolute pro's and super duper nice guys, and they did a beautiful job!!! Bottom line is I could go on and on about how amazing JHA and his team are.... so I'll close this out by saying this.... Much Thanks to You brother and your amazing team!! I am forever grateful for your OUTSTANDING work, and everyday I'm in this studio I'm still pinching myself that this isn't a dream!! The studio sounds absolutely AMAZING!!!!! ACES across the board for JHA folks!!! Cream of the Crop!!!!
