Profile
Ola returned to Britain in the late seventies, to pursue his education and by the mid eighties, he had bought a guitar, learnt a few chords and was playing solo gigs in around London. Soon he was forming collaborations with other musicians on the soul/jazz circuit and in the early eighties, demos of his song-writing efforts came to the attention of Elektra (US) boss Bob Krasnow, who signed him to the British wing of the company. Unfortunately the deal came to an end a year later... so Ola came up with the bright idea of setting up his own label.
He released his first single "You'd Better Believe" in the summer of '94 to instant critical acclaim, soon followed by strong radio support. Play-listed on Jazz FM, Kiss FM, choice FM and many other local radio stations, licensed to several compilations and synched to a couple of films and TV programs, Ola seized the moment to release his first album "More Soul Than Sense" to equally positive response. Ola's recording career has since spawned three other well-received albums: "From Meaning Beyond Definition" (1997), "Precious Libations for Silent Gods" (1999), and the brand new album for 2002 "Ambitions For Deeper Breadth". Ola's albums serve to seal his reputation as a highly talented singer songwriter and producer, as well as an exciting and energetic stage performer.
A typical performance is for up to 2 hours of live music.

Words cannot describe what this guy does. I have never seen anyone connect so totally with an audience. He possesses one of the most versatile voices in the business with a virtually limitless range at both ends of the scale. He can scat the ass off anyone I've ever heard, he's a monster songwriter, and no mean musician (although he reserves this particular talent for the studio, preferring I think to give 100% to his vocal performance live).”
