INTERVIEW
TONY MOMRELLE is one of the most exciting and significant soul musicians on the modern
British stage.
In a music career spanning 20+ years, he has performed with some of the greatest
artists in the world: Incognito, Gloria Estefan, Céline Dion, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Chaka,
Sade, Gary Barlow, Andrea Bocelli, Gwen Stefani, Robert Palmer and many more. In Autumn 2016
he supported the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire on their sold-out UK tour.
His acclaimed debut album ‘Keep Pushing’ was released in 2015 – an infectious mingling of eighties-inspired synths,
jazzy keys, classic piano and soaring soul vocals. Strong mainstream and regional radio support
for the album culminated in four BBC Radio 2-playlisted singles and ongoing airplay across
Europe. Momrelle’s ‘Keep Pushing Tour’ has flown world-wide, playing to sold-out audiences at
venues and festivals in the UK, Australia, Italy, Germany, Russia and France. Notable media
appearances in 2017/8 included an intimate duet with Jools Holland live on the much-loved BBC
One show ‘Later with Jools Holland’, as well as distinguished collaborations with the Guy Barker
Orchestra and Big Band for BBC Radio 2 . His sophomore album ‘Best Is Yet To Come’ released to
critical acclaim in 2019.
