Adesuwa Obaseki

After studying at the London College of Fashion in 1989, Adesuwa followed in the footsteps of many highly successful artists and completed a two years performing arts course at W.A.C. Weekend Arts and a Dance Foundation course at Kensington and Chelsea College. She also studied singing for three years with top UK session singer Roy Hamilton.

In 1992, she joined an accapella group called Innervision, performing at several major venues such as Hackney Empire, Chats Palace, and many other London clubs.

After three years, the group had performed on The Royal Variety Show with such names as Cilla Black, and the London Gospel Choir.

Coming from a Christian background, Adesuwa trained and performed with her local gospel Choir, across England and at the London Gospel Awards in 1995. After working four years with Innervision, it was time for her to move on. Adesuwa wanted to work with someone who had the same commitment and inspiration as she did for producing and writing songs.

She met the acclaimed bass player Hugh Bullen, who was playing at a popular club with his band The Rain Dogs in June 1996. Hugh invited Adesuwa on stage to sing and after the show, he asked if she would like to join the band which was renamed Phinx.

After a year playing the London circuit and performing across England, the band recorded their first album called "Free Your Spirit". The first single from the album also called "Free Your Spirit" and was promoted by Promobeat in 1999.

Promo Beat being an independent label did well in the DJ chart returns across England reaching the top ten above world acclaimed artists. A video was filmed for the single and was nominated for an award organised by Macintosh computers in Paris. A television cable company which promotes new talent broadcasted the "Free Your Spirit" video.

She was married to Hugh Bullen.
