This week we have a special bonus episode with the County Business TALKS Live Podcast Show from the amazing Soho House, with very special guest Omar Lyefook MBE.
In April 2023 I had the honour of chatting with a music icon with a career spanning 4 decades, a ‘signature’ hit tune that led on to eight solo albums
; collaborations with some of the biggest names in pop music history Stevie Wonder, Leon Ware, Erykah Badu; to name a few]; a catalogue of side-projects more extensive than many artists’ entire working lifetimes; a one-man stage show; and an MBE pinned to his chest by King Charles.
In this fascinating conversation Omar shares his story from life growing up and where his love of music first started to releasing his first album. He shares his incredible friendship and collaboration with music royalty Stevie Wonder and takes us through the many highlights of his career as well as the inspiration behind his music and the classic tune 'There's nothing like this'. We talk about some of the challenges he faced in his career along with the prejudice he faced within the industry. What was clear from the entire conversation was Omar's pure love of music and how thankful he is everyday for the career he has and leaves us with some great advice:
"Life is short so you have got to live it properly"
Everyone has a story to tell and 'there's nothing like this' one
