Tony Momrelle at Nica Jazz Club

Nica Jazz Club, Alter Wall 20, 20457 Hamburg

British artist Tony Momrelle is one of the most exciting and significant soul musicians on the current scene. He launched his solo career after spending more than sixteen years as the lead singer of the legendary British acid-jazz band Incognito. While he draws inspiration from artists like Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder, he is also influenced by countless other sounds and styles, all of which take on a unique character through his authentic interpretations.

The singer-songwriter embodies the essence of modern British soul music. Tony has crafted an infectious blend of 80s-inspired synthesizers, jazzy keyboards, classical piano, and stirring soul vocals. Over the course of a career spanning more than two decades, he has performed alongside some of the world's biggest stars—including Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Sade, Gary Barlow, Andrea Bocelli, Gwen Stefani, and Robert Palmer—and vocally, he is every bit their equal. Music critics such as John Rockwell and Paul Morley have even hailed Momrelle as the new Stevie Wonder of the 21st century. During a tour of Japan with Incognito, Tony received a surprise call from Stevie Wonder, who told him he was a fan.
