Afropop Star Yemi Alade To Perform Theme Song For Cartoon Network & Max’s Animated Nigerian Superhero Series ‘Iyanu’
Groundbreaking show, steeped in Nigerian culture and mythology, is a Lion Forge Entertainment production with the backing of Cartoon Network and Max.
It is adapted from Dark Horse Comics/YouNeek Studios’ popular graphic novel series Iyanu: Child of Wonder by award-winning Nigerian creator and filmmaker Roye Okupe. The main title theme song is a collaboration between Alade, the creative teams at Lion Forge Entertainment, Alcon Sleeping Giant, and Femi Agunbiade, the lead composer on the Iyanu series. “I’ve been a big fan of Yemi Alade for over a decade, so I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard she would be a part of Iyanu,” says Roye Okupe, Creator and Executive Producer of the series, who also wrote and directed several episodes of the show.
