He was born into the family of Prince Isaiah Ademola about 30 something years ago.He attended Christ Church School,Mapo V,Elekuro,Ibadan for elementary education before proceeding to St.David’s High School,Molete,Ibadan.After secondary education in 1991,he joined the Great Nigeria Insurance Company as a sales executive for a year.He later attended an institute affiliated to another one in London for a certificate in Chemistry though he has been acting all along.He also did Adult Education at the University of Ibadan.
His acting career started in his elementary school days when funny pupils were often dubbed actors but the turning point came when one of my student-colleagues that was cast for a lead role in a play had an accident and could not take part in the performance.After scouting for replacement,he was eventually picked for the role.During that play,he was able to convince his teachers and colleagues of the great talent embedded in me.Similar event reoccurred in his secondary school though he was a science student,he was chosen to replace one of Ishola Ogunsola’s sons earlier cast for a play when the former did not show up.Despite being a science student,his enthusiasm for acting earned him the position of the Director of Publicity in the School’s Press Club.He had a corner on our board then tagged Muyi’s Corner where he wrote short poems, jokes and cartoons.
But a bigger surprise came a few months to his graduation when he started a series of short stories through which the press board attracted both the staff and students of the school.The experience replayed itself tremendously in HIS first novel; Secrets of Death, which was encouraged by his English Language teacher.The first opposition to his choice of career came from his family.His father could not fathom why the son of an elder in the church shuttled between one location and the other to keep body and soul together.My father did not see acting as befitting enough for any of his children.In the course of looking for a sponsor to publish some of his manuscripts,he met people who told him that they could not help him because he is an unknown writer.He equally toured schools and Ministries of Education in search of sponsors I equally toured schools and Ministries of Education in search of sponsors before I yielded to a friend’s advice to try the theatre industry.
Through Charles Olumo (a.k.a. Agbako) who lives close to their house in Abeokuta,he eventually got in touch with Mr S.I.Ola,a movie director.The man taught him the rudiments of acting and movie production.He later returned to Ibadan and registered with the ANTP and he started attending its meetings.In 1995 precisely,luck came his way when met one Dibel,a generating sets dealer who volunteered to sponsor his first movie, Asise (Blunder) and since then,he never look back.
He is happily married with children.His hobbies are Reading,meeting people,making people happy,watching movies and listen to music.
