Omar
Boisdale Of Canary Wharf, E14 4QT , [Venue Details]Prepare to immerse yourself in the unmistakable sound of Omar - the pioneering force who helped define and elevate British soul on the global stage.
This is not just a concert. It’s an evening with a living legend.
For more than four decades, Omar Lye-Fook has crafted a sound that effortlessly blends jazz sophistication, funk-driven grooves, classic R&B, disco shimmer, and Latin warmth into something entirely his own. From the timeless anthem “There’s Nothing Like This” to a catalogue rich with critically acclaimed albums, his music remains as fresh and forward-thinking today as when he first emerged.
His influence reaches far beyond the UK. A collaborator with icons including Stevie Wonder - who famously declared, “When I grow up, I wanna be like Omar” - as well as Lamont Dozier, Leon Ware, and Erykah Badu, Omar’s artistry bridges generations, scenes, and continents.
Awarded an MBE in the Queen’s 2012 Birthday Honours for services to music, Omar is more than a singer-songwriter; he is a cultural architect of modern soul. His live performances are a masterclass in musicianship - shifting seamlessly from velvet-smooth ballads to irresistible, groove-laden rhythms that demand movement.
Still innovating, still inspiring, still unmistakably unique - Omar remains one of the most vital and respected voices in contemporary soul.
