Despite repeated opportunities to leave perfectly good pop songs alone, he has instead dedicated a significant portion of his life to reharmonising them beyond all reasonable recognition.

Against all expectations, this behaviour has led to over 300,000 followers, millions of views, and his harmonic crimes being acknowledged by artists including Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, Lenny Kravitz, David Foster, Questlove, JoJo, Michelle Williams and Anderson Paak, alongside collaborations and content with legacy artists such as Montell Jordan and Teddy Riley.

His name is Oli Howe.

Based in Brighton, UK, Oli is a pianist, producer, songwriter and arranger and a leading voice in the UK jazz scene.

Several of his compositions have also become widely used in jazz education, with students performing his music in universities and conservatoires around the world.
