MUSIC
I am a musicologist with over 10 years’ experience in music performance and music events management. I am passionate about exploring the psychological and therapeutic effects of music as a tool to transforming the human mind, and by extension, the society.
I believe that music is the social thermostat that regulates the prevailing culture.
In 2015, I founded Music for Development, an organization through which I collaborate with other artists/musicians to innovatively use music as a tool for social change. Among other initiatives of Music for Development, the organization recently hosted ‘The Girl Child Concert’ to commemorate the United Nations International Day of the Girl Child; to bring attention to gender issues while pushing for community commitment to advocacy for the rights and empowerment of the Girl Child in Africa.

SPEAKING
As an anti-conventionalist thinker, I love to push the bounds of reasoning beyond the established walls of tradition and insanity, and I love to talk about these issues. My frontline conversational platform is #ADEOLARMI, a platform that engages young people on conversations around the issues of Love, Relationship, and Marriage.
