lanaire is a poet, playwright ,performer and documentary filmmaker.

fusing poetry and music together, the artistic stylings of lanaire have already put her on the map as one of the most exciting and innovative rising artists in the uk. from the publishing of her poetry anthology, ‘of ivory and ink’ in 2017, lanaire’s writing has been steeped in the rich history of nigerian voices that history has threatened to forget.

her ability to tackle topics like feminism, faith and family in an engaging and captivating manner, led to her being named one of the 30 artists commissioned by the coventry city of culture trust. her play, ‘an evening with verse writer’, (tristan bates, 2018); (shop front theatre, 2019); (warwick arts centre, 2019); (story story festival, 2021) received an artistic development award as it blurred the lines between music, traditional storytelling, and theatre, inviting the audience to become active participants in a world of her own creation.

lanaire has opened for young stars like ajebutter and odunsi. ‘ancient history’, her 2018 collaborative ep with King Solomon, was another artistic leap, putting her poetry to music and letting it bleed into the dizzying raps from king solomon. her work on Black feminist history and memory has appeared in the BBC, africa writes, birmingham rep theatre, tate modern more. some of her other credits include writing and voicing an audio play for ‘the future show’ and ‘change your style’ , a poetry film that explored black women’s hair journey(s) whilst mixing childhood songs with poetry and monologues inspired by salon conversations.
