Ola Onabule

Ola Onabule is undoubtedly one of the finest soul/jazz singer/songwriters.  Ola performs at almost 100 venues a year throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe.  He has opened for artists such as Diane Reeves, Al Jarreau, Joe Zawinul, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole and Patti Labelle in the UK and was featured artist on Courtney Pine’s Commonwealth tour.  His music is a blend of soul, jazz and African influences.  Ola was signed to Elektra in the nineties but ultimately took the independent route in order to create his own sound and identity.

As a result of this decision Ola has emerged as an artist of distinction who has honed his writing and production skills at the same time evolving into a passionate and committed performer and entertainer.  The strength of his melodies are opening doors into other worlds.
