Omar

Omar Lyefook MBE is without doubt, one of the greatest soul music talents the United Kingdom has produced.

 

If anyone has doubts about that, then they might want to consider the list of legendary artists who happily line up to collaborate with him musically, or simply sing his praises – from Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Common, through to D’Angelo, and Soul II Soul’s Caron Wheeler, Angie Stone and Estelle, all appreciate his truly original and unique voice, musicianship and songwriting talent.

 

A truly unique and original voice accompanied with musicianship and song-writing talent, establish Omar as a pioneer in British soul. A precursor to neo-soul and acid jazz movements, he outlasted the peak of these tags to continue to deliver his own inimitable brand of soul music.

 

Omar received an MBE in 2012 for services to the British Music Industry. The father of neo-soul has a career spanning over 3 decades, garnering wide respect within the worlds of soul, jazz, funk and R&B.
