Omar Pitras Waqar

I’m Omar Pitras Waqar, a composer, educator, sound designer, and creative entrepreneur based in Alexandria, Virginia. I write film scores and songs, collaborate with artists across genres, and bring projects to festivals and events ranging from Sundance and SXSW to international film and documentary festivals—often pairing music production with thoughtful sound design.

Alongside creating music, I teach and mentor—having been a top-rated private instructor and delivering curriculum and guest lectures on music and audio topics. I also bring strong sales and leadership experience from roles in audio retail and brand ambassadorship, plus I’ve founded and run independent music ventures, managing everything from A&R and composing to licensing, booking, marketing, and client relationships.
