2011 sees the release of Ola Onabule's seventh album entitled: SEVEN SHADES DARKER. Ola
set up his record label Rugged Ram Records in the mid 90s and has since released six albums
of original, self-produced material, with the previous, THE DEVOURED MAN, taking him on tour
dates to theatres and Jazz festivals across the world.
The Press say, he possesses "a stunning voice of enormous range and emotional clout". His
voice is "beautifully clear and appealingly textured, almost classical ...with a range and elasticity
to match his rich tonal qualities". "The influences of Soul, Jazz and the West African music of his
childhood come together in subtle and sophisticated melodies and time signatures. OLA's songs
feature lyrics that are layered with metaphor and allegory. Ola seemlessly documents the issues
of the day with the universal subjects of love and loss.
OLA has guested and/or shared stages with some of the most prominent soul and jazz artists
including Diane Reeves, Maceo Parker, Gladys Knight, Al Jarreau, Patti Labelle, Roberta Flack,
Joe Zawinul, Natalie Cole, Raul Midon, David Sanborn, Sibongile Khumalo, Chick Corea, Randy
Newman. and Roy Hargrove.
OLA Onabule's music has appeared in films such as N'est Tres Pas Catholique and Second
Hand Lions featuring Robert Duvall and Michael Caine as well as TV productions such as 'The
Bill and Eastenders and Nature programs such as the BBCs award winning 'South Pacific'.
OLA was the featured vocalist performing with the WDR Big Band of Cologne in a memorial
Concert for legendary soul/Jazz Guitarist Hiram Bullock. The shows featured Randy Brecker,
Dean Brown, Frank Gravis and Michael Abene (MD) at the Cologne Philharmonic Concert Hall.
OLA and his Band continue to perform at many UK and international music festivals including
Canadian Montreal and Vancouver International Jazz Fests, Scotlands Edinburgh Festival,
Germany: Leverkusen, Potsdam Ingolstadt, and Aalener Jazz Festivals, Swiss Blue Balls Fest,
Swedens Umea and , as well as many of the world's famous jazz venues including Ronnie
Scott's: London, Kennedy Center: Washington, Blue Note: New York, Joe's Public Theater: New
York and Quasimodo's in Berlin.
