Ademola Oyefeso, CEO, New Genesis |
“Alase” as he is fondly called by fans
and admirers has done so much in selling our brand to the outside world
especially at his base in the United States of America; not only that,
he has also contributed hugely to the current state and acceptance that
Nigerian music enjoys these days amongst diverse culture and race. He is
regarded as a promoter that commands great respect among musicians and
artistes, especially those in the Yoruba genre.
Many big musicians in Nigeria like King
Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey and many others have benefitted immensely from
his promotional skill. Other artistes Ademola Oyefeso has promoted
include K1 the Ultimate, late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Kollington
Ayinla, Salawa Abeni, Lagbaja, late Orlando Owoh, Adewale Ayuba, Abass
Obesere and Kola Ogunkoya, to mention but a few.
Interestingly, Oyefeso has also extended
his Midas touch to another area of leadership that involves his Yoruba
people just like he has been positively affecting the Nigeria
entertainment world. He has taken a step further by coordinating the
Yoruba people in his country of residence. Though, his term is gradually
coming to the end, Ademola as at today, is the president of the Yoruba
association known as Egbe Omo Yoruba in New York.
During his term as the president of the
association, his achievement aside promoting peace and progress among
members, he also has the credit of getting an edifice for them that has
the inscription of ‘Yoruba House’ which has become a rendezvous for
Yorubas living in that part of the world.
