Luti Fagbenle

Luti Fagbenle is a British entrepreneur and director of Luti Media Ltd., the parent company of Portobello Post and Soho Post. He is best known as Ali Taylor in popular soap opera "Hollyoaks". [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1519526/filmoseries]

Born to a Nigerian father and British mother, Luti begun his career within the media industry as a model and actor appearing on stage in West End theatre production of Disney's Lion King as Simba. [http://home.hetnet.nl/~musicals/LionKing.html]

While still acting Luti started up his media company hiring broadcast and film equipment to independent and short filmmakers. Luti quit his acting career soon after, returning briefly to star in Life and Lyrics [http://www.store4dvd.co.uk/Product/Region_2_DVD/786734/5050582459494/Life_And_Lyrics_Region_2_DVD.html] alongside Ashley Walters. Fagbenle went on to open two post production facilities in London and a production company, Luti Media, whose music videos and documentaries [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1087523/] have aired on British television stations.

Luti Fagbenle has invested in several businesses including property investment company Portobello Investments. Other recent ventures include The Super Shorts Film festival [http://www.supershorts.org.uk] [http://www.ethnicnow.com/channels/film/press-release/3/2180/super-shorts-international-film-festival-2008-supports-bfc-youth-film-project-in-bujumbura.html] . In 2008 his company Portobello Post became main sponsors and organisers of the six day festival which took place in Central London.

Luti Fagbenle placed the wall of his Portobello post house up for sale on popular auction site Ebay after notorious British graffiti artist Banksy stenciled artwork on it. The event generated attention from newspapers worldwide and the wall which was claimed to be worth £400,000 was reported by The Metro Newspaper [http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=82315&in_page_id=34] (amongst many others) to have been sold for £200,000. There is still much mystery and skepticism around the sale as the wall remains at Portobello Post.
