Omar Ruiz-Lopez is a bilingual songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and co-founder of the original Americana group Violet Bell. Omar was born in Panama and raised in Puerto Rico with Spanish as his first language. His love of music began at an early age thanks to his father's frequent renditions of traditional Caribbean folk songs.

Omar is a composer at heart, and is experienced in music performance, production and engineering. The diversity of his own experience as a multi-genre musician and Latine immigrant helps him connect with diverse international audiences.

When not playing the fiddle or swinging a guitar around, he enjoys cooking, dog-petting and reading fantasy and fiction when life gets too heavy. If you see him talking to himself, don’t worry; he’s just working it out!

Post college led to a deep dive into improvised music and folk fiddle styles, mainly bluegrass, klezmer, old time, and thus led him to a career playing with artists such as Anais Mitchell’s Hadestown, Session Americana, and countless bluegrass and klezmer bands before starting a duo with his identical twin brother.
