OLA Onabule knows that variety is the spice of life, and loves every minute of it.

Ola is currently working on his new album which is due out on his own label, Rugged Ram Records, in the New Year.

His last long-player, Precious Liberations For Silent Souls, is still getting airplay on a whole host of different genre radio stations including Jazz FM, the club orientated Kiss FM and London's GLR.

Described as "slick and gusty", Ola appears at The Brook on December 14 with his four piece band, promising a fantastic live performance of a calibre which has previously won him support slots with Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole and Diane Warren.

Ola is also somewhat of a pin-up model as well.

Middlesex University Alumni Society (which Ola attended as a Graphic Artist student) have used Ola on their poster campaign throughout London and Greater London during the summer to illustrate the kind of success their students have achieved while attending the university.

You can catch Ola Onabule, supported on the night by local band Shine, at the Brook, Portswood on December 14. Doors open at 8pm and tickets priced £6 are available through 023 8055 5366.
