The future of the Yoruba movie industry is bright! From comedies to drama, the fresh young talents coming out of the industry is captivating audiences of all ages.

Like those who set the stage before them, including Iyabo Ojo and Fathia Balogun, the next generation of entertainers continues to challenge the status quo through their art.

Scroll down to learn more about these performers and their work.

1. Bunkumi Oluwasina

Bukumi Oluwasina is such a bundle of talent. An actress, scriptwriter, producer, and a sound track composer, not many are aware that she is also an Afro Pop singer.

Although she is a new face in the industry, she is by no means a green horn. She is diligently carving a niche for herself in the movie and music industry.

The Dramatic Arts graduate cut her teeth in 2014, with her production and acting debut in the film, “Ayomi”. Portraying a visually-challenged girl, the film earned her accolades and nominations. In 2018, critics say established actors should not overlook her acting prowess because she one actor to watch out for.

2. Feyisara Hassan

At only 24, Feyisara Hassan, has produced five films while featuring in so many more. Her first film titled, Rokun Rosa, was released in 2011 when she was just 18.

3. Tayo Adeniyi

The name Tayo Adeniyi may not readily ring a bell, but her moniker, Shakyra, is a household name in the Yoruba movie scene.

A Banking and Finance graduate, she can pass for a non-Yoruba because of her light skin. But she is an indigene of Ekiti state.
