Sayo Talabi

Sayo Talabi; a writer, poet, presenter, creative, award-winning journalist and all-round natural born performer.

Sayo began writing and performing spoken word poetry from a young age, but it was lockdown where her online persona really rose to fame. With her legendary grey fur coat and red lip, Sayo began performing her “Kpoetry” - an exaggerated spoken word performance bringing together parts of her Nigerian heritage and British upbringing.

With millions of impressions across her clever and comical words, it’s clear to see how Sayo’s audience rose by 10k followers per week during the UK lockdown. More recently, Sayo has seen opportunities arise offline, having hosted a radio show on Reprezent, featuring in Season 2 of Sky Art’s “Life and Rhymes” and is working on a major documentary with a mainstream TV channel.
