Anu Omideyi is a criminal barrister who began her legal career in 2001 and paused it in 2014 when other areas of her life began to flourish. She ran a successful criminal practice spanning all areas of criminal law ranging from murder and serious violent and sexual offences to complex conspiracies to defraud from Furnival Chambers, a leading London set with nearly 100 members and 14 Queens Counsel. During this time she also sat on Furnival Chambers’ Board of Directors for 6 years - the youngest female and black person to have done so.
She is currently a trustee of Common Purpose Student Experiences, is part of the governing body of the Gospel Music Industry Alliance UK and was trustee of Common Purpose UK between 2003-2009.
Anu is also the choir director and manager of the award-winning The Reapers Choir. The choir was a finalist in BBC1’s Gospel Choir of the Year 2014 and has performed in venues including: 10 Downing Street for the Prime Minister, the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, Kensington Palace and The London African Music Festival 2015.
The vocal ability of the choir has been recognised nationally and internationally, winning "Choir of the Year” and “Choir Director of the Year” (Anu Omideyi), in the Zeta Gospel Music Awards, Tennessee, USA, in October 2015 and being nominated for the British Gospel Music Alliance Industry (GMIA) award for “Best Music Video by a UK Choir/Group” (JUMP Music Video Awards) in 2014. The choir’s debut album, “Light Through the Tunnel” was released in November 2015 to critical acclaim and great support.
The numerous leadership roles that Anu has undertaken in her life’s journey has brought her to a point where she is both privileged and humbled to offer advice, inspiration and motivation, be it in large gatherings or one to one.
