Founder's Profile

Anthony Yusuf is a budding artist. For the love of stage, he founded the Young Starz of Afrika Arts Academy in 2014 to serve as platform for young people to perform and also to mentor upcoming acts in different aspect of stage performances.

Coming in contact with acting, music and dance at the age of nine, when he began to watch big acts perform on stage, Anthony began to dream of becoming one, so he joined his school’s and church’s drama groups, where most times he played lead roles and soon became popular. Not satisfied with his level of performance, he became a member of the Arts Afrika Dance Troupe to hone his skill in choreography, contemporary/African dance, drama and callisthenics.

Gaining proficiency in 2002, young Anthony left the group in 2014 to establish his on September 30.

His troupe, which started with four members, now has over 25 members and at various times performed at different high profile events within and outside Lagos.

With most of the Young Starz of Afrika Arts Academy plays and dances centred on topical issues, the academy serves as avenue to tell youths to use their talents for self and national development instead of blaming government for their hapless situations.

“With your hands on paper, you can produce words for the future. With your imaginations and creative thinking, you can come up with initiatives that will positively benefit you and the society,” Anthony admonishes the youth.
