Omer Coleman Jr., known as Starship Commander Wooooo Wooooo, emerged from Kansas City, Missouri, in the early 1980s with a unique blend of electronic funk. A steel mill worker by day, Coleman transformed into his cosmic alter ego, driving an electric space-car and performing in an alien voice—a natural vocal distortion without electronic filtering. His 1981 private press album, "Mastership," showcases this distinctive style, merging influences from George Clinton and Kraftwerk to create an endearing, space-age funk sound. Reissued by Left Ear Records in 2016, "Mastership" continues to captivate listeners with its vision of a happier world through music.
