OLI NEZ

Growing up in rural Wales, Oli first picked up the saxophone to help manage severe childhood asthma. Unaware it would launch a global career as a performer, producer, and all-round showman.

Since then, Oli has taken his sound everywhere from intimate jazz nights at Ronnie Scott’s to the grandeur of the Royal Festival Hall and even across every continent, including Antarctica, headlining luxury cruise liners. His performances have reached royalty, playing for Prince William and Kate, and he has warmed up audiences for classical star Katherine Jenkins with his jazz quartet.

Behind the scenes, Oli is the creative force behind CHROMAT_INC Music, working as both producer and composer. His music has been featured internationally across major networks including NBC, BBC, Channel 4, and Canal+, with releases through Universal and Warner Chappell. He also collaborates closely with his partner and future wife, Holly Parker, a performer from Atlanta, Georgia, bringing a shared creative energy to projects both on and off stage.

His debut album Open For Business, produced by Grammy-nominated Julian Hepple, featured some of the UK’s top jazz talent, including Dennis Rollins, John Paricelli, and BBC Radio 3’s Emma Smith. His latest project, Whispers of Wales, is a bold reimagining of the traditional Welsh male voice choir blending voices and saxophone into a cinematic, contemporary sound. The album took nearly two years to bring to life, including collaboration with a male voice choir based in Utah.

On stage, Oli’s versatility continues to shine. He toured the UK and Asia with platinum-selling vocal group G4, also featuring as a soloist on their latest release alongside artists such as Lesley Garrett, Merrill Osmond, and The City of Prague Philharmonic.

In 2018, Oli also stepped into the world of comedy, performing at Up The Creek Comedy Club in London.
