Loell Bergen, also known as Alex Savage or OMFG, is a Canadian music producer and online streamer. His most known songs are "Hello" which charted in Belgium in number 84 and "I Love You". He currently has over 1 million subscribers.

He is known for his distinctive upbeat glitch-hop music, combining repetitive melodies and simple talk box vocals. The brand mascot, a cartoon of a slice of toast with a large smiley face known as "Toasty", features in artwork and single releases for songs, and is likewise recognizable.

It was initially believed that a woman named Kylee Boettcher was the producer of the music, until Bergen informed the public it was a social experiment.

Career

Before making music as OMFG, he would make music under the alias of ElectroPhant, sometimes referred to as PhantBass. One of the songs released under this alias was a dubstep track titled "Chocolate Chip Pancakes", released sometime during or before August of 2013. The melody from this track would later be reused in the OMFG song "Pancakes", definitively linking the two aliases as being operated by the same individual.

In 2014, he released "Hello" which was immediately known and reposted by MrSuicideSheep where the song became more known on the internet and YouTube. It currently has over 3 billion views on YouTube.

In 2015, he released "Yeah", "I Love You", and "Ok" as singles. He briefly convinced the public he was a woman named Kylee Boettcher until it was revealed he was a man named Loell Bergen. In a Q&A video, he revealed he had hired her in response to a lack of female electronic dance music producers.

In 2016, he released "Stardust," "Jelly," and "Everybody."

Over the next four years, he released several more songs, including "Nope" (and its remixes), "Dying", "Meant For You", "Get Out", and "What's Up"; the latter two were supposedly meant to be released on an album titled "I Miss You" on April 24, 2024 though this never happened and the tracks resultingly do not appear on streaming platforms. All releases on streaming platforms from the remixes of "Nope" onwards were published through his new label, "HappyToast".

From August 2020 to February 2021, he posted videos on TikTok under the username "talkboxguy", mostly covering popular music while using a talk box and sporting a radically different tattooed appearance.

Since then, Bergen appears to have disappeared from the Internet, and it is believed that he sold ownership rights to the music or otherwise simply abandoned the brand entirely for personal reasons. In either case, over the years internet trolls and others have taken advantage of this and uploaded music under the OMFG name, with titles such as "Cock And Ball Torture", "Negro Funk", and "Fat Kathy"; though some remain posted on streaming platforms, they are not released under the HappyToast label, nor are they connected to the artist's verified Spotify page (like all other tracks).
