HI, I’M KAI

A SENSITIVE BADASS

Mom is from Exeter, England. She came to Canada to work as a nurse.

Dad is from Lagos, Nigeria. He came to Canada to study to be a doctor.

They worked at the same hospital, met playing tennis and…

Grew up in Toronto, Canada. Planned to be a doctor like my dad. Problem was… I hated math and science.

Graduated. Took a year off to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Parents weren’t thrilled .

Secretly dreamed of being a dancer. On a whim, auditioned for The American Musical & Dramatic Academy. Got in. Dad really wasn’t thrilled, but mom said go to NYC or you’ll always wonder WHAT IF…

Hit the Big Apple to pursue my dream.

Danced in commercials and music videos…

…modeled for Nike…

…and was part of a short lived rap group called FLEXX.

Quickly realized dancing was not a good long term career choice. Shifted my focus to acting and headed west to realize the Hollywood Dream. Landed a series regular role on a FOX TV show then realized I wanted a creative outlet for my own stories.

Went back to school. Studied filmmaking. Now I work as a director with the occasional acting gig thrown in. And my dad became my biggest fan. 🙂
