Olatuja is a band, a project, an album full of the uplifting, joyful music of the African diaspora, and a beacon of healing in a divided world. Michael ‘Leye’ Olatuja first met Alicia ‘Lisa’ Olatuja when both were students at Manhattan School Of Music. Their relationship quickly deepened and they married, and in 2011 made a record together under the name Olatuja. As time passed their relationship evolved. No longer husband and wife, but still close friends, they each pursued their separate musical careers, and each succeeded in establishing themselves at the highest level of their respective professions: Michael as a first-call bassist in NYC, and Alicia as an internationally touring mezzo-soprano. Now, after a decade, they have reunited creatively as Olatuja.
