With being compared to Duke Ellington and Maurice Ravel by The New York Times, Harold O'Neal FRSA (pianist, producer, speaker, and social entrepreneur), has marked his place among this generation's greatest pianists and composers. He has been profiled and featured by multiple publications and programs, including Forbes, NPR's All Things Considered, The New Yorker, Fortune Magazine, and the 92nd St Y: 7 Days Of Genius series. He has been granted fellowship to the Royal Society of the Arts, with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as a patron, and recently played a role as a creative expert for Pixar's Academy Award winning film, Soul – with his stories being a resource to the filmmaking process. As a music producer, O'Neal has worked with various artists, including Busta Rhymes, Miguel, Jennifer Hudson, Aloe Blacc, Damien Rice, Ne-Yo, Jay Z, and was a featured artist and music arranger for Amnesty International's "Electric Burma", a live televised DVD concert featuring U2 and Bob Geldof. "He comes with a full, orchestral piano sound, rippling, weaving, punching like Kenny Kirkland's solos did in the 1990s." BEN RATLIFF, The New York Times As a speaker and social entrepreneur, Harold has shared his voice with leaders in innovation, including TIME, Salesforce, The Future Of StoryTelling, Google, McKinsey & Company, United Nations Ambassadors, Salesforce, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and The World Economic Forum at Davos. Recently, Harold was an invited speaker and facilitator at NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, where he is currently developing a social entrepreneurship initiative. "In addition to O’Neal’s spontaneity, he’s one of the most distinctive, creative, insightful musicians at work today.” ROB WOLCOTT, Forbes
