Adey Omotade works across an ecosystem of acoustic ecology, sound design, video and experimental music. His Yoruba roots provide the view through which he explores and engages archival research alongside oral histories and traditions to reveal embodied narratives that excavate ancestry, migration, ecology and identity; and the ways structures of power shape our perception of indigenous practices, representation, race and love.

 His work incorporates snippets of classical African music, rhythms, and archival sounds. He works at the intersection of Yoruba opera, orchestral, house, chamber music, oral tradition, sound installation and noise. A firm believer in music and performance as a tool for archiving and preservation of Yoruba culture, he speaks to the status quo while drawing parallels to history. Born in Ile-Ife, Adebayo was immersed in art and sound from a tender age, as part of a cultural art ensemble originating in Osogbo and touring the south-western region of Nigeria. 

In 2009, he co-founded the musical trio 'The Fridge’ in South Africa that toured from Johannesburg to Cape Town. He curated ‘DOPAMINE’ the first album by South African artist Bongy Mvuyana.

 In 2015, he re-established Skata Vibration, an Afro-psychedelic rock band that toured Nigeria and France. 

In 2017, he produced Nigerian alternative maestro Brymo’s first all-live studio recording single, “Do You Know Me” and co- produced his album ‘The A.A.A Project’ in 2018.

In 2020, Adey Omotade recorded his first solo project- Niri, an experimental music project which is a result of research and experiments of over ten years. It incorporates snippets of live-recorded chants from his Yoruba spiritual traditions with extraction of archival Yoruba music dating back to the 30s. With this album, he has carved out his own style; a genre of sound that is unboxed and stands in its own uniqueness, making it accessible to all who are interested in connecting to their roots.

Adey Omotade is a recipient of the 2021 ACP-EU Culture - AWA grant for West Africa.

 In 2022, Adey Omotade, with members of the collective he founded, participated in a two month residency at the Cité internationale des Arts in Paris, France. 

Adey just completed his residency at the prestigious La Napoule Art Foundation in France for his upcoming project ‘Irin Ajoo.’

He is the founder of the Abele Arts Foundation committed to discovering underground artists and providing them with access to international residencies, funding and support.
