gabriel adedeji
Composer, pianist and percussionist
Hi and thanks for stopping by!
I’m a composer with a foundation in classical and jazz training, I’ve found joy in weaving these styles together with the rich, traditional folk sounds of my Yoruba roots. It’s all about creating authentic music, preserving culture and collaborations.
When I’m not composing, you’ll often find me at the piano, whether I'm singing and accompanying myself and other musicians or supporting music workshops as a freelance musician. I genuinely enjoy collaborating, sharing, and learning through music.
Feel free to explore, have a listen, and get to know my work. I hope you find something here that strikes a chord with you!
