Fresh Fans, we've finally finished riding the high that was the people's champ event, the UK funkmaster Oneman, and we're back at it, switching the style up with the father of British neo-soul himself, one of the UK's most promising R&B artists--Omar!! His personal fan base is a who's who of R&B legends--India.Arie, Eryka Baduh, Angie Stone, Gilles Peterson, and his biggest idol Stevie Wonder to name a few. Not only did Wonder personally brand himself an Omar fan, he recorded the hit duet "Feeling You" with Omar as well, something he promised Omar 15 years prior. In 2004, Omar was featured on the album Electric Circus LP of hip-hop megastar Common, an album that was highly praised for its eclectic ambition. Omar didn't stop there. In 2006, he released his highly anticipated hit album "Sing (If You Want It)", which earned him the Best Neo-Soul Act and Outstanding Achievement awards from the Urban Music Awards. His eclectic tastes make him a genre in his own right, with influences that range from hip-hop, funk, ragga, jazz-pop, rock and even Latin/Caribbean dance. The best part of it all--FOB Asia's got him locked up for a Live Performance at Kee Club on Wed, Feb 26. Bring your hearthrobs, lovers, significant others and an umbrella--this night's going to get wet!

-----------

Born October 14, 1968, in London but raised in Canterbury, Omar Lye-Fook couldn't escape the call to music even he tried. His father, Byron Lye-Fook, was a studio musician and drummer who had done work for reggae greats Bob Marley and Horace Andy, as well as the Rolling Stones. At age five, Omar was already learning how to play the drums. During his grade school years, he completed formal training in piano, trumpet/coronet, and other percussion instruments, but he also taught himself to play the bass, emulating Level 42 guitarist Mark King. As a part of various brass, jazz, and percussion ensembles, the young prodigy had performed in Italy, Brazil, and the U.S. before turning 15 years old. By the time he was a student at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music in London, he was too tempted in pursuing a professional career and left after one year. Recording for his father's Kongo label, Omar debuted in 1985 with the single "Mr. Postman" at age 16. With Kongo following up with a series of buzz-worthy white labels throughout the late '80s, Omar's favorable reception continued to grow because of his classic yet updated soul approach, which was years before neo-soul became an acknowledged subgenre.
