Darey Art Alade

Biography

Darey is the son of the legendary jazz pioneer Art Alade, and he has carried that legacy into the modern era. After his breakout on Project Fame South Africa in 2004, he became Nigeria’s premier R&B voice with hits like "Not The Girl." However, his 2026 persona is defined by his leadership at Livespot360, which he co-founded with his wife, Deola Art Alade. To be honest, what makes him unique in this database is his dual-threat capability. He is one of the few veterans who successfully moved into the "Experience Economy." He’s currently the brains behind Entertainment Week Africa (EWA), which connects creatives from Ghana to South Africa. His 2026 AMVCA nomination for Best Costume Design for RHOLagos shows that his creative touch extends even to the "glam" and visual identity of major franchises.
