Abidemi Amosu

Abidemi Amosu, professionally known as Abidemi Sax, is a globally recognized saxophonist and musicologist whose sound is a rich tapestry of tradition, innovation, and soulful expression. Born in the culturally vibrant Iworo Awori area of Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria, Abidemi was immersed from an early age in the rhythms and melodies of traditional Nigerian music. This foundation laid the groundwork for what would become a lifelong dedication to mastering and innovating through music.

From his first encounters with the saxophone, Abidemi found his voice in the instrument — a voice that powerfully bridges emotion, heritage, and modern artistry. His ability to blend traditional African sounds with the vibrant pulse of contemporary genres such as Afrobeat, jazz, and global music has positioned him as a unique force in the music world. Influences from legendary artists like Fela Kuti, Ebenezer Obey, Dave Koz, Richard Elliot, Orlando Julius, and Kirk Whalum have deeply shaped his musical ethos.

Now based in the United Kingdom, Abidemi Sax continues to break boundaries. His international performances have captivated audiences across continents, and his recordings — including works like Temi, Atinuda, Trust In God, Smile, and A Dreamer — showcase his commitment to musical excellence and spiritual depth. A seasoned performer, he has headlined numerous events in both Nigeria and the UK, earning acclaim for his electrifying stage presence and emotional delivery.

Abidemi’s academic journey is as impressive as his performance career. He holds a National Education Certificate in Music from Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (Otto/Ijanikin), a Bachelor’s degree in Music from the University of Ibadan, and a Master’s degree in Music from the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. His formal education has greatly enriched his expertise in theory, composition, performance, and production, enabling him to continually evolve as a musician and educator.

Beyond the stage, Abidemi Sax is a passionate musical curator and community builder. He believes in the unifying power of music to bring people together, heal divides, and inspire transformation. Through curated events and collaborative projects, he fosters cultural exchange and uplifts communities — using music not just as entertainment, but as a vehicle for social impact.
