AGE: 31

FROM: Glasgow

JOB: Student

TALENT: The human saxophone

BACKGROUND:

Kayode Oresanya, originally from Nigeria, discovered his “gift” in 1997 after he asked a University friend for Saxophone lessons. His friend never got round to giving Kayode any lessons, so he started playing an imaginary sax instead. He would hear a sound and then try to mimic it, four months later he had practiced so much that he had become self proclaimed “The Living Sax”.

Kayode believes that people will look forward to being vowed by his talent. He is the entertainer of entertainers and loves being different. When he was performing in Nigeria the audiences were so astounded by his gift that they thought that he had something implanted in him to make his sounds. During one show he was actually examined by a doctor, for verification that he didn’t have any musical implants!

He has played in various venues in Nigeria and had been invited to perform in many West African countries. He left Nigeria and came to the UK because he didn’t want to be a local champion he wants to be a global champion. He thinks he has what it takes to be a global star and studied his MBA so that he would know how to market himself. Kayode believes that there is no limit to his potential and he can achieve whatever he wants in the next 5 years.
