During a rich career spanning over 40 years, Omatshola formed numerous bands, including Tee Mac & Afro Collection in the 1970s.
He recorded his first LP, United, with Polydor International in Germany with his European band Tee Mac United, in the late seventies. Omatshola hit the global music charts with two songs: “Fly Robin Fly”, and “Get Up & Boogie” (owns 50% of the copy right) and toured extensively with his third band, Silver Convention, in the mid seventies.
He worked with celebrated Nigerian singer Shirley Bassey as her musical arranger & conductor and also worked as a composer for Cidi Croft Enterprise and later for Universal Films in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Even though Omatshola spent a lot of time touring across the globe (Far East, Latin America, Europe, North America and South Africa), he always invested in local Nigerian initiatives, becoming one of the pioneers of the Classical Music Society of Nigeria which eventually founded the Muson Center, Nigeria’s leading music school.
Dr. Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli (MFR) is a Nigerian flutist with cross-cultural Itsekiri and Swiss roots.
Omatshola combined his first degree in Economics from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, with a specialization in classical music concert performance and philharmonic composition of the University of Lausanne.
The prelude addresses one of the major societal problems as well shows how WEN’s mission can be applied as a solution to curb or eradicate this problem. WEN’s mission is to reinforce the enduring and noble philosophies, principles, and practices (3Ps) of people of African ancestry and to appreciate the good aspects of other heritages.
WEN is structured into empowerment groups, which include Ebony Adult Empowerment (EAE) and from this group are men of valor who are predominantly expected to lead and protect the community. It would be ideal if all social groups had the same interpretation of what a man of valor is; however, so many factors render the ability to share the same beliefs, morals, and practices ineffective in many societies, hence the chaos in many homes and communities.
