Ademola Olaoye

BIO

Ademola Olaoye is a events manager from Nigeria.
‘Building a beautiful landscape where events in Nigeria can thrive and ensuring that entertainment in Africa can reach insurmountable heights has been the dream growing up, as a young man you dream of effecting change especially with those things you have passion for, then the time comes when you realise you have to do more. Hence my schooling and involvement in the industry that is entertainment and events management’.
For Olaoye Ademola, working in this industry is not merely a job, but a mission, and it’s that kind of drive that makes him efficient, motivated, enigmatic, and result- oriented in this area. The industry has very much benefited, if not been blessed, by Ademola’s contributions, which has spanned over seven years of working experience, and seen him adapt his knowledge, skill and talents.
Yet would not say his dream has been fulfilled, there are still miles to go on this journey, but there has been a very steady build towards realising the dream. Ademola has been planning and delivering a wide range of events within varied business sectors, working with clients from the private and public sectors, local and multinational organisations.
Ademola bagged a Diploma at Florin Tech College, and received management training at Piston & Fusion, as well as a short course in music business at the SAE Institute in Cape Town, South Africa. He began his career as production manager at Grey Tiger Entertainment Ltd in 2009, before spells at 1908 Connect Production, Redrick Integrated, Ecleftic Entertainment, H20 Production, as well as African Event. Ademola recently started his own company, called Kontentt Live, with a team of like-minded professionals.
In his time so far in this industry, Ademola has given to her, and the projects he has carried out, something that has been missing over the years. Like every great story, he has had the pleasure of working in great institutions where he has built a reputation as a calm, pro-active and unfailing team player, with very sound communication skills; nothing seems unachievable now in the industry.
With many international and local qualifications in Project Management and Planning, he has been involved in some of the biggest and brightest events in Nigeria over the years, not only has he become one of the most prolific project managers of our time, he as well has an excellent customer satisfaction index with every event or project he has been involved with.
Some of the executed projects Ademola has been involved in over the years include the Harp Rhythm Unplugged concert in December 2013, with featured Wyclef Jean. He also had his fingerprints all over the Glo CAF Awards in 2013, as he did the World Economic Forum a year later, the latter of which was no mean feat due to security concerns at that time.
I spent the end of 2019 playing a major role in the production three of the biggest musical concerts in Nigeria, working as the production director for Wizkid’s StarboyFest, Naira Marley’s MarlianFest, and Davido’s A Good Time With Davido.
