Sunny Eselekhomhen

As an artist from Nigeria, Sunny Eselekhomhen grew up with Juju musicians, and choreographed  and co- founded The Crown Troupe of Africa, and The Small World Cultural Group and is a member of the Guild of Nigerian Dancers for Life. He continues to embrace traditional Nigerian  music,  art, and culture in his own career. Mr Eselekhomhen  teaches the “drum language” and  Nigerian Arts whenever  presenting to students or events.  The WaZoBia Arts   Corporation has been established to not only preserve these traditions and share them with others, but provide opportunities for under-represented minority children, low income , special needs students, and immigrants these cultural experiences.

      Currently, Mr. Eselekhomhen works as a volunteer with students in the Sacramento City Unified School District.  Sunny has worked in the Sacramento area for five years, bringing these cultural   events to students at many school sites. In order to expand the outreach opportunities for more diverse populations,  The Wazobia Arts – Non Profit Corporation was formed.
