Nigerian singer and songwriter Omorinmade Kuti, professionally known as Made Kuti, is all set to embark on a journey of love with Adanna Onyenso, the daughter of renowned actor Chris Onyenso. The grand wedding is scheduled for early November.
Born on September 26, 1995, to the iconic Femi Kuti and Funke Kuti, Made Kuti is not just a rising star in the Afrobeat scene; he’s a luminary in his own right. Growing up amidst the vibrant rhythms of the New Afrika Shrine, his musical journey began at a remarkably young age. Displaying exceptional talent, he effortlessly mastered multiple musical instruments, including the trumpet, alto saxophone, piano, and drums during his formative years. Remarkably, he picked up the trumpet at the tender age of 3.
After receiving his foundational education in music at Uxbridge College, Hayes Campus, Made Kuti continued his musical education at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London. This institution holds immense significance as it was also the alma mater of his legendary grandfather, Fela Kuti. Made Kuti’s deep connection to Afrobeat’s legacy is evident, and his dedication to preserving and advancing the genre is truly impressive.
Adanna Onyenso, the daughter of the esteemed actor Chris Onyenso, adds her unique charm to this upcoming union. Her father, Chris Onyenso, is a revered figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry, celebrated for his roles in acclaimed films such as “Ashanti” (2003), “Risky Affair” (2004), and “Moonlight” (2006).
