Michael Olatuja

Michael OlatujaLast December I had the privilege to work with yet another artist of the Obliqsound record label (these guys must really like me! :-)), Michael Olatuja.Marco who assisted me and I had a wonderful day working with him. Michael is a great guy and a fantastic musician.Today is the release date of his solo album “SPEAK”.What they’re saying about Michael Olatuja and SPEAK:"What a curious cocktail of African music, jazz, soul, and gospel Michael Olatuja has cooked up on Speak.... Put it all together and it shows Olatuja to be an excellent composing talent with a great future." - All Music Guide"Speak unquestionably speaks the potent language of music on a soulful level.... highly recommended listening." - Soultracks.com"Speak is a stunning debut from a talented artist." - Soulmatters MagIndie Artist of the Week, July 27, 2009 - About.com Christian Music Channel "...a mix of hip hop, neo-soul, and sultry r&B/jazz that soothes the soul." - Jamati Online "This cat, who's come seemingly out of nowhere, made a record that reveals a talent far beyond merely being able to pluck a four-stringed instrument.... It’s worth keeping tabs on Mr. Olatuja to see what he will do for an encore." - Somethingelsereviews.com "Speak sounds fantastic...I'm only sad I wasn't playing on it." - Jools Holland"Michael's virtuosity and musical diversity make him one of the most unique bass players around today" - Peter CincottiI am very exited to have been given the opportunity to shoot the cover for “SPEAK”.Check out his music on iTunes or on the Obliqsound website and buy the CD or download the music.  "Michael Olatuja" Manhattan, New York City, Chinatown, Michael Olatuja 12-15-08 at 07:44PM
