Tajudeen Adeyemi Adefisoye was born on 3 August 1984 in Ondo State to Alhaji Ismail and Alhaja Ebunola Adefisoye, growing up primarily in Akure.
He attended Omolere Nursery and Primary School (1991–1995) before transitioning to Unity Secondary School, Ikere Ekiti (now Ekiti State Government College), where he stayed from 1995 to 1996. He later completed secondary education at Federal Government College Idoani in 2001.
He earned a first degree in business administration from Ekiti State University and served his national youth service, being recognized as the best Corps member in Jos North Local Government during that period.
After his service year, he took over the export division of Atenidegbe Ventures Limited—a cocoa export firm—and expanded it into Ondo State’s leading cocoa exporter within a year. He subsequently founded multiple businesses, including Vizline Investment Limited (haulage and exports), VATA Groups Ltd., VATA Hospitality Ltd., and VATA Beverages.
Adefisoye entered politics in 2010 but faced opposition when he sought the Ondo State House of Assembly seat under the defunct Labor Party. He later aligned with ACN before joining the All Progressive Congress (APC) in 2015, contesting a primary election for Idanre Local Government and losing by eight votes.
In 2019, he ran as an SDP candidate in the House of Representatives elections for Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency. He won with 16,186 votes against rival Kayode Akinmade (PDP), marking his first electoral success.
Since then, he has remained active in politics under the Social Democratic Party, serving as the youngest and only SDP member in the House of Representatives for Ondo State’s Idanre/Ifedore constituency.
