As both a musical curator and performer, Abidemisax organizes events that transcend mere notes and rhythms, aiming to cultivate community and human connection. His impressive repertoire of performances is a testament to his dedication to community engagement and his inspirational outlook, envisioning a world united through music.

With music, my primary goal is to create a powerful bridge between diverse cultures and communities, Abidemisax says. He adds that, “I also intend on fostering unity and understanding through the universal language of sound. Music has an incredible ability to transcend boundaries whether they be geographical, cultural, or emotional and my ambition is to harness this transformative power in my work. From the beginning of my journey with the saxophone, I have been driven by a vision of music as a means of deep connection and cultural exchange. My fusion of traditional and contemporary sounds is not just an artistic choice but a deliberate effort to celebrate and integrate diverse musical heritages. By blending these elements, I aim to create a unique auditory experience that resonates with audiences both in Nigeria and around the world.”

Afrobeats global rise is truly exciting, and it offers a remarkable platform for showcasing African musical heritage, Abidemisax attests. He further explains that, “My approach to making a mark in this dynamic industry is grounded in my unique fusion of traditional and contemporary sounds, which I believe aligns perfectly with the evolving landscape of Afrobeats. Firstly, I plan to integrate my expertise as a contemporary saxophonist with the vibrant rhythms and melodies of Afrobeats. By blending the rich textures of the saxophone with the energetic and diverse elements of Afrobeats, I aim to create a distinctive sound that stands out in the genre. This fusion will not only highlight the versatility of Afrobeats but also introduce new auditory experiences to both existing fans and new listeners. Additionally, I am committed to preserving and celebrating traditional African musical elements within the Afrobeats framework. My background in traditional music and my ability to seamlessly weave these elements into modern compositions will contribute to a deeper appreciation and understanding of our musical heritage. This approach will help distinguish my work in the Afrobeats scene by offering a fresh perspective while honoring our cultural roots.”

His aspirations extend beyond performance but through his music, he seeks to forge stronger community bonds, driven by a mission to uplift and inspire. The uniqueness of his concerts in Nigeria has garnered a dedicated following, eagerly anticipating the future of saxophone music under his influence. He adds that, “My goal is to blend traditional African sounds with contemporary Afrobeats, create innovative musical experiences, and foster a deeper cultural connection. By staying true to my artistic vision and embracing the global nature of the genre, I am confident that I can make a meaningful impact in the Afrobeats industry and contribute to its continued growth and success.”
