Tell Me More
GC Talents, the talent management arm of Gelax Chatroom, proudly steps into the Nollywood spotlight with its first signed artist, Osas Okonyon, a rising star poised to captivate audiences. With a potent blend of emotional depth, multilingual charisma, and unmatched versatility, Osas is ready to leave an indelible mark on African cinema.
Her journey from university theatre at ELSA Playhouse to professional screen acting, certified by ELCA’s Acting for Screen program, showcases a performer who thrives in drama, comedy, romance, and culturally rich narratives.
Osas’s stage roots and drama ministry background fuel her passion for storytelling, allowing her to fully inhabit every role. Her ability to forge electric chemistry with co-stars and deliver heart-wrenching performances has already sparked buzz. “Osas transforms into the story,” says Bolaji Gelax, Talent Manager at GC Talents. “Her eyes pull you into the character’s world—it’s pure magic.” This transformative power shone through in a yet-to-be-released film, where her performance left the crew in awe, cementing her as a talent to watch.
Her next project, the tentatively titled Her Pikin Mama, sees Osas tackle a challenging lead role that demanded physical and emotional immersion. She cut her hair, shed weight, and vanished into the character, earning praise from crew members for her unrecognisable transformation. This role, still in post-production, underscores her commitment to authentic storytelling. Beyond acting, Osas’s singing talent adds another layer to her dynamic presence, promising versatility across genres.
Osas’s mission is clear: to reflect universal human experiences and inspire young girls. “I want my characters to show audiences their own stories,” she says. “I hope young girls see me and think, ‘If Osas can do it, so can I.’” As Nollywood’s global influence grows—valued at $6.4 billion and producing over 2,500 films annually—Osas and GC Talents aim to elevate African narratives. GC Talents, based in Lagos, is dedicated to discovering and nurturing the continent’s next generation of stars, offering comprehensive support to maximize their potential on screen and stage.
