One of the many children of Segun adefila. A performace artiste, the Director of KiNiNso-koncepts, who intends to make theatre a tool for youth empowerments and societal development as well as the foremost and preferred entertainment in Nigeria. Studied Theatre, Dance and Directing at the Creative Arts Department, University of Lagos. A total theatre performer who in his search, curiosity and love for art has been able to cross and break barriers. His confidence in his artistic expressions has gingered his writings, his mannerism on stage and as a person. He believes extensively in the art as a tool for social and economic development. Also is his attempt at making art a means of self-empowerment and intellectual venture for young Nigerians like him. I believe in the viability of the arts as a reconstruction tool through cultural ethics using the creative composition of dance, drama, poetry, movement and music to challenge ourselves intellectually. Experience include-
