Onome Ovwori (pronounce ‘Owori’) a Jazz artist was born and raised in Nigeria,
West Africa. He embraced the love of music at the age of six when his Dad
presented him with a keyboard as a Christmas gift. And although he is skillful at a
number of musical instruments such as drums and bass guitar, he has fully
mastered the art of playing the keyboard. From his early beginnings till date he has
gone on to advance his career by playing in churches, live concerts with some of
Africa’s best talents in the industry, and other performances.
Some of Onome’s collaborations include a recording with "The Apostles" in Lagos,
Nigeria titled “Art of the Apostles”. He also played with Nathaniel Bassey on the
New Jazz Stew Project album called “Revelation”. In addition he has been privileged
to work with American artistes like Rose Harper of Shekinah Glory Ministries and
Daniel Winans and played alongside Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, Helen Baylor, and
Lionel Peterson. Onome has also worked with budding artistes as a songwriter and
producer along with Tim Shider for their upcoming projects.
Although he has worked on numerous musical projects, his preferred genre is a mix
of jazz, world beat, gospel and R&B. This unique blend of musical flavors comes
alive in Onome’s debut album, “Time” which was released April 24th, 2009. This
album includes performances by Gregory Kilpatrick, D’Amadeus, Dennis Hilliman,
Jumbo Ane, Jim Farkas and Isaac “RealEyez Mystic” Odusanya. This independent
work is reflective of his admiration for Ramsey Lewis, Wayman Tisdale and Joe
Sample. Onome was also privileged to meet Lenny LeBlanc a prolific songwriter,
artiste and musician who he has admired for years.
Onome attended the Delta State University, Nigeria and graduated with Bachelors
in Mass Communication. In addition to that he attended the Musical Society of
Nigeria (MUSON) in 2003. He currently serves as Music Director at his local
church, and has been at that position for seven years. Onome lives in New Jersey
with his wife and children.
