What I do

As an interdisciplinary artist, my pieces explore sociological, political and economic problems of our contemporary society and question its underlying systems. My performance style is characterized by a fusion of everyday movements and behaviors with contemporary dance, as well as the constant incorporation of live music. My works are political and challenging, as well as poetic and sensual at the same time. Followed by the urge to explore and develop the multicultural resources of Nigeria, I always deal intensively with his homecountry Nigeria in my pieces. I currently live and work as a choreographer and musician in Hamburg.

Music

Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination.

My professional career follows pretty much the idea of co-education. In my work I connect connect street styles with elements of contemporary dance, live music and political statements. Collaborating with a wide range of different artists from all over the world, I learned from everyone. It is an ongoing exchange of an artistic knowledge, setting up a dialogue between the aesthetics of the traditional and the avant-garde, creating a truly cosmopolitan art.
