About Oli Lazarus

At the age of 29, Oli Lazarus is already a successful label boss, DJ and producer, heading up London based soulful label Papa Records and also the founder member of Reel People. Originally hailing from London's East End, Oli has been involved in the London music scene for nearly 10 years.

Alongside the label, Reel People have also continued to grow. In 2003 their debut album "Second Guess" was released on Papa Records. Filled with wonderful collaborations from artists such as Angela Johnson (Can"t Stop), Vanessa Freeman (The Light) and Dyanna Fearon (Butterflies), the album was greatly received and led to the band being signed to Columbia Records in Japan, where they remain hugely popular, even supporting Herbie Hancock at the Tokyo Jazz Festival. In February 2006 the album was re-released on major dance independent Defected Records. To enhance the new version, the guys penned the club classic "The Rain" and the uber cool cover of Thelma Houston's "You Used To Hold Me So Tight". Also accompanying this was a bonus disc of live versions which really showed off how the band had developed over the 3 years of touring "Second Guess".

Reel People have come home to roost on Papa Records for their brand new offering "Seven Ways To Wonder" which was released on February 25th 2008. The new longplayer has upped the ante: a heady brew of the many ingredients necessary to concoct an album worthy of a claim to their position within the classic UK soul pantheon.
