Omar Lyefook, a 56-year-old British musician and multi-instrumentalist, has significantly influenced the neo-soul genre since the mid-80s. Despite his status not matching his talent, many fans and fellow musicians regard him as a national treasure. His desire for distinctive music stems from his early career aspirations. Collaborating with prominent artists like D'Angelo and Erykah Badu, Omar's contribution to music and culture remains impactful, as he continues to be celebrated by new generations of artists and fans alike.
Omar is a national treasure who laid the foundations. His production should be recognised just as much as his vocals.
When I started out at 14, I said I wanted to make music that, as soon as you hear the first four bars, you know it's me.
