Omar
Celebrating 40 years in music, Omar Lye-Fook MBE is one of the UK’s most celebrated soul artists.
He grew up in Canterbury, Kent, and learned his craft classically, playing the trumpet, piano and percussion. He also spent two years at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester and the Guildhall School of Music in London.
Since his timeless breakthrough hit in 1991 "There’s Nothing Like This", Omar has defined British soul, blending jazz, funk, R&B, and Caribbean influences into a sound entirely his own.
With collaborations spanning Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Angie Stone, Leon Ware, Robert Glasper, Paul Weller, Courtney Pine, and India Arie, Omar’s legacy as a true innovator is unmatched.
His enchanting blend of classic and neo-soul showcases his trademark vocals, lush string arrangements, and collaborations.
A performer of effortless class and deep musicality, Omar’s live shows are a masterclass in groove, soul, and sincerity.
“I am healed all over when he sings” – Erykah Badu
“When I grow up I wanna be like Omar.” Stevie Wonder.
