Adébayo is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, writing, poetry, filmmaking, and performance. A former lawyer turned actor, he found his fullest creative freedom in painting, since exhibiting internationally for over a decade. Guided by his mentor Paul, he sees art as a way to “author his own life” and inspires others to do the same.
Paul is a pianist, prize-winning composer, and dedicated teacher whose concert operas, music theatre, and digital works have been staged internationally. As a former Professor of Music Theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, he has led opera and theatre companies, held creative residencies, and taught around the world. While at Central, Paul played a formative role in Adébayo’s artistic journey - offering guidance, advice, and the reminder that “you’re not in competition with anyone else but yourself.”
