Moore Kismet

While most 15 year olds are content parsing high school algebra and kicking back, Moore Kismet (real name Omar Davis) spent their 15th year racking up titles like the singular dance music artist in the 2020 edition of Billboard’s 21 under 21. The non-binary producer’s sound—laden with daring experimentation and fluttering, glitched out bass—is as fluid, colorful, and amorphous as Kismet themself. A humble champion of the LGBTQ+ creative community, Kismet boldly approaches the yawning abyss that is the straight-white-male-saturated dance music space and continuously shatters convention. Their improbably versatile catalog lends itself equally to a laid back evening indoors or pumped-up prowl through the festival circuit.
