Behind The Lens - Meet the young director of Wizkid's 'WONDER' video!

Genesis Lanre Lawanson, C.E.O. MADHOUSE was born February 17,1995 in Nigeria, hails from Oyo state. 
He is a Photographer, Video director, Model, Script writer and Concept developer. Presently studying Guidance & Counseling in Ekiti State University, he was raised by a single mother and fondly says, "so I guess I mostly see things from the female perspective".
He started modeling in 2011 and has featured in a number of ads for numerous brands including Nestle, Dangote, Hollandia, MTN, GLO, Etisalat, Nokia, U.N to name a few. His passion for modeling and fashion birthed his love for photography. He increased his knowledge about it during holidays in Nairobi, Kenya and photography officially kicked off for him in March 2014 when soon after, channelled video direction.

His first take on video direction was in October 2014 for a documentary/campaign for Nigeria's top dance crew, DNMT, followed by Headies' Lyricist On The Roll nominee, Posly TD's 'Public Announcement' in November 2014 and thereafter got the huge opportunity of working with one of Nigeria's hit-makers, Wizkid, on the video for 'Wonder', from his sophomore album, Ayo.

He loves writing and developing concepts. Could say he has been doing that for the most part of his life as he is always quick to tell all,  "My number one crush is my camera".
