#SelahMusic: Lar Imontu | Oluwa

UK-based pianist, singer-songwriter and producer, Lar imontu has made his musical debut with a powerful new single titled ‘Oluwa.’

The track, which blends heartfelt lyrics with rich musicality, draws inspiration from a deeply personal experience in the artist’s life.

Recounting the genesis of the song, Larimontu, born Larry Odiase Clement, shared that the idea came to him during a period of profound personal loss and frustration. “I woke up from a dream where I was performing the chorus of this song,” he said.

“The melody and theme struck me so strongly that I had to write it down immediately. It became my way of surrendering to God after trying everything in my own strength.”

The single was recorded in his home studio and reflects Lar’s musical journey, a path marked by years as a music director, band leader, educator, and jazz pianist. Now stepping into the spotlight as a singer-songwriter, he brings a fresh voice to his music with a sound that blends R&B, jazz, soul, and Afrocentric rhythms.
