As Black History Month begins, we’re excited to announce the signing of a joint venture publishing deal with Omar Hammer, an English artist widely credited with launching the NeoSoul sound in the UK. Omar burst on the scene in the early ’90s with his debut single “There’s Nothing Like This”. Over the course of several albums released through the ’90s, he landed 6 more chart singles including “Your Loss My Gain”, “Music”, “Outside”,”Keep Steppin”, “Saturday” and “Say Nothin”. He collaborated famously with such American soul icons as Lamont Dozier, Leon Ware, Angie Stone and Stevie Wonder. Beyond music, Omar began an acting career in 2009, joining the cast of the musical Been So Long, went on to appear in several BBC dramas and comedies and last year landed a recurring role on one of the UK’s longest running daytime dramas, Eastenders.
