Oliver Wakeman

There are no bigger boots to fill in Rock Music than those of one's legendary father but Rick Wakeman's eldest son Oliver Wakeman has, among many other accomplishments, seamlessly substituted for his father in both 'Yes' and 'The Strawbs'. Oliver's own works here include the album 'Chakras' (played while his own son was born,) 'Enlightenment & Inspiration', a beautiful, positive relaxation masterwork, and some specially commissioned music featured to complement classic poetry readings. Having played piano & keyboards since the age of five Oliver is now an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and award-winning composer. Having been born to perform he is as much at home playing on stage in a stadium as in his own lounge. While containing all the elements required for relaxation, meditation and imagination Oliver's pieces all contain an intriguing hook - which might explain why he has also written many successful TV themes, jingles and corporate launches requiring tension and drama. His style is a subtle interaction between piano and keyboard synths providing a unique rhythm that completely replaces the need for drums or percussion. Whether the listener is transported to cavernous underground streams or wild open vistas the result is always a satisfying, calming and thought provoking adventure towards a profound sense of well being.
