Known simply as Omar, has been one of the UK’s most celebrated British musicians for many years.
He has nine albums to his credit, tours all around the world and an accumulated list of collaborators and supporters to die for – amongst them Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Common, Carleen Anderson, D’Angelo, Soul II Soul’s, Angie Stone, Courtney Pine, Kele LeRoc, and more.
I spent my teenage years being highly influenced by this man's music, so to find myself interviewing him has really been a monumental thing for me.
Have a listen to his influences, his musical start in life and people surrounding him, an of course his MBE and acting career.
Truly humbled by the experience!
enjoy:)
