Below are a few frequently asked questions that should clarify further what the company is all about.
Who runs LiL SoSo Productions?
The owner of LSP is Risikat “Kat” Okedeyi. She has significant domestic and international event planning experience and considers herself a culturist. She is NOT a promoter and does not consider LSP to be a promotion company. Instead refers to what LSP does on the event side as “event concept production”. She works with a small staff that is able to support the various needs of LSP’s varied client base. According to Kat, “My goal is for people to walk away feeling inspired. Whether it is an event, performance, album concept or photoshoot, LSP works to give clients the best in customer service and attendee experience. We make the abstract tangible one experience at a time.”
Where does the company‘s name come from?
LiL SoSo Productions is named after Sofiyat O. Okedeyi who was Kat’s younger sister. Sofi died in June of 2001, at the age of 15, from liver failure. “I knew I wanted to start a company and that it would have to be named in honor of Sofi. Lil’ Soso was one of her nicknames, so I modified the spelling a little and LiL SoSo Productions was born.”
What is the significance of the LSP logo?
The logo is a tribute to Kat’s mother and sister. The starbursts seen within the “S” symbolize these two very important people. “LSP’s imagery is a reflection of the things that are important to me. My mom and sister are a reminder not to give up. The logo and the company name are my way of keeping their energies close to me,” says Kat.
What is event concept production?
This simply means that LSP is not an event planning company. We do not execute cookie-cutter, “plug and play” type of scenarios. Instead we pull from the client the essence of the event purpose and create a unique experience around it. The goal is to find the abstract element and make it accessible to the attending audience. So far, all of the events presented by LSP , have been created and produced by Kat, sometimes in partnership with various corporate and organizational partners. Simply put, LSP makes the abstract tangible.
How does LSP work with artists?
LSP works with artists in various capacities. We are moving away from the traditional artist management structure in favor of a more service-oriented structure. There are three elements to our artist support services affectionately known as: FanCONNECT, Short-Term Parking and Chaos Management. The goal is simply to assist artists in being more consistent by offering real-world solutions and assistance, without the contractual obligation of a traditional management contract.
