About ADEY

---

Though born in New York City, Ade spent his core childhood between Europe and Nigeria, where he began to receive his creative inspiration and passion for music and traditional griotism. he would bring that passion with him back to America years later to expand his ethnic worldview. 

Ade started acting in Theater in highschool with The Aquila Theatre Company, Playing THESEUS/OBERON in 

A Midsummernight’s Dream and was immediately "bitten by the bug". we would play ROMEO in Romeo and Juliet the next year. 

He continued his education at Lehman College, while training as an actor teacher with the Creative Arts Team, where he was introduced to more and more deeply complex, human, and compelling roles such as RALPH D in Stephen Adly Guirgis’ The Motherfucker with the Hat, and MACDUFF in Macbeth, Roles that allowed Ade to further develop his style, voice, presence, technique, and artistic approach. 

This Summer, Ade Portrayed JAMES HEWLETT In Carlyle Brown's "The African Company presents Richard III", SEBASTIAN in Twelfth Night, and ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE in The Comedy of Errors. He also recently wrapped UBONG BASSEY/GHOST in his Feature Film Debut, The Beautiful Ghost, directed by Fidelis Duker.

 Ade recently completed his education at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting's Professional Day Conservatory in NYC and is on his journey to establish his career in Film/TV, Theater, Music and Education Internationally.

When he is not on stage or behind the camera, he is playing music, teaching, and mentoring actors, directing and producing projects, hosting events, and exploring various fitness adventures. He is a worldly polymath, always looking for opportunities to travel and see the world through the eyes of the people so as to hone his craft. He strives to express himself as an artist every day and live fully and truthfully.

His love of music and tradition brought me to become an Ensemble Percussionist for the Group Something Positive, an Afro-Cuban group based in New York that tours Internationally year-round, while also Jamming with artists all over the world. He has been a part of various international music festivals and events and is working on producing a studio album for one of his artists. He is the creator of Monologue Roulette! and the Wild Acting educational workshop series, while pursuing professional and holistic projects year-round both on stage and screen. Ade is available for voice-over, Commercial/Promo, and hosting events.
