- Adisa was born with a silver tongue and a head full or rhymes.
- He exploded onto the spoken word scene in the summer of 1993, his mango flavoured metaphors and his larva-fuelled performances soon became legendary on the London performance poetry circuit. One year after taking is show on the road, Adisa landed first place in a national competition titled, new performance poet of the year.
- Benjamin Zephaniah who was one of the judges later said, “Adisa is the future it’s so good to have something to look forward to” Adisa has delivered his work in many arenas from pub basements to Buckingham palace, from primary schools today centres for senior citizens.
- Adisa is on a mission to take poetry to the people wherever he finds them; he has taken his word from continent to continent. Adisa delivers his work in a format known as Edutainment. He believes a good performance should be able to entertain the audience, but at the same time challenge the audience to look again and question what it is they hold to be true.
- Adisa has found great demand for his work within the walls of education; he frequently visits schools throughout Europe, to deliver performances which have been described as a giant pizza with toppings of African wisdom, observational comedy, life skills, and concert like call and response routines.
