"Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I've never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line's always been really blurred for me.

Work

Quote_1.png
Wole Soyinka
"One, a mass movement from within, which, as you know, is constantly being put down brutally but which, again, regroups and moves forward as is happening right now as we are speaking."

Being

Quote_1.png

History

Wole Soyinka
"Well, first of all I'll say that I come alive best in theater."
