Nairoby Otero is an interdisciplinary artist, visionary producer, and proud first-generation Cuban-American whose work defies boundaries and redefines storytelling. She is the founder of YOLO! Productions, a production company with a strong expertise in site-specific productions.
Under Nairoby’s leadership, YOLO! Productions has garnered critical acclaim, earning a reputation for bold, innovative work that amplifies underrepresented voices and pushes artistic boundaries.
Hailed as “A Singular Tour de Force” by Broadway World, Nairoby’s artistry and entrepreneurial spirit have been celebrated across major publications, blogs, and media outlets. Her work is infused with the resilience, passion, and dynamism of her hometown, New Orleans—a city that, much like Nairoby herself, embodies both strength and playfulness, comedy and drama, all wrapped in an unmistakable Louisiana charm.
For Nairoby, creativity is not just a passion; it is a necessity—as vital as breath. Her artistic drive is relentless, often demanding sacrifices that most would shy away from. Yet, for her, the pursuit of storytelling, truth, and impact is worth every challenge, every risk, every moment of uncertainty.
A Shubert Foundation Scholar, TOW International Research Fellow, and Best of Brooklyn College, Nairoby continues to push artistic boundaries, forging a legacy that is as fearless as it is unforgettable.
