The former lead singer of the famous British acid jazz band INCOGNITO is one of the most exciting and important soul musicians and a mainstay of the British soul scene. The exceptional quality of his songwriting and his unique, powerful tenor voice are characteristic of the musician.
In a music career spanning over 20 years, he has performed with some of the world's greatest artists: Incognito, Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Sade, Gary Barlow, Andrea Bocelli, Gwen Stefani, Robert Palmer and many more. In the fall of 2016, he supported the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire on their sold-out UK tour. Momrelle was the lead singer of the famous British acid jazz band Incognito for more than sixteen years before launching his solo career. His highly acclaimed debut album "Keep Pushing" was released in 2015, followed by a deluxe edition twelve months later. Featuring guest appearances from Talib Kweli, Chantae Cann and Tony Remy, the album is an infectious blend of eighties-inspired synthesizers, jazzy keys, classical piano and soaring soul vocals.
Channeling Hathaway, Wonder and countless other sounds, styles and ideas through his authentic, thoroughly contemporary take on what British soul music means today, Momrelle has created something very special with 'Keep Pushing'. Strong support for the album from mainstream and regional radio stations has culminated in four BBC Radio 2 playlist singles and sustained airplay across Europe.
Momrelle's 'Keep Pushing Tour' has taken him around the world, selling out concerts and festivals in the UK, Australia, Italy, Germany, Russia, France, Indonesia and many other countries. In his home country, he has wowed audiences at the EFG London Jazz Festival and Cheltenham Jazz Festival several years in a row.
