Ola Onabulé’s music combines elements of jazz, soul, funk and African music to create a unique and distinctive sound. Onabulé's lyrics often address social and political issues, such as the fight against oppression and injustice. He has received acclaim from critics and fans alike for his ability to combine a powerful message with beautiful and moving music.
British-Nigerian Onabulé's latest release, Point Less, is a giant leap forward in his artistic canon. Moreover, it affirms his place among contemporary singer songwriters. Onabulé is a rugged individualist, a deeply soulful musician who has absorbed the surround sound of his youth – jazz, world – and incorporated key elements into his distinctive style. He is direct and passionate, confident in his ability to sell a song with conviction.
