Láolú Senbanjo otherwise known as “Laolu NYC,” is a Nigerian bred, Brooklyn based performance and visual artist, singer, songwriter, musician, human rights lawyer, and activist. Having started his career in law, Láolú has always sought to help others reveal their truth. To do this, he navigates in the way that comes most natural to him: through never ending depths of his artwork. After practicing law for three years in Nigeria, he moved to New York City where he has devoted his time to being a full time artist ever since. Láolú is guided by the idea that all things— be it paper, walls, people, buildings, cars, you name it— are his canvas. By placing his artwork on just about any and everything he can get his hands on, Láolú seeks to leave a part of his art and Yoruba heritage wherever he goes, one canvas at a time. Láolú has worked with those such as Taraji P. Henson, Lupita Nyongo, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beats, Danielle Brooks, and has had his Sacred Art of the Ori body ritual featured on Beyoncé’s 2016 Grammy award winning ‘Lemonade’. Láolú has graced the covers of The New York Times alongside having features in The Fader, Vogue, Vice, CNN, BBC, and more. His ever growing list of collaborations currently include those such as Kenneth Cole, Nike, Equinox Fitness, Starbucks, Belvedere, Bvlgari, TED, and many more.
