Idrissa Sanogo

About Indrissa Sanogo

Idrissa is an actor originally from Mali, West Africa, but grew up all over the world. He’s lived in Canada, Italy, Nigeria and Mali where he finished up high school in 2017. He then came to Toronto to attend York University but dropped out in his third year to pursue his passions. He realized his passions were in dance and modelling, so he joined Miracle Management. Leaving school for acting and dance was a life-altering decision because he knew he would be cut-off financially from his parents.

Idrissa has a very short history of school performances, however, he grew up watching movies with his dad and fell in love with the craft. He always felt acting was a dream far too big to pursue – but gained a new direction when his agent asked if acting was something he wanted to apply himself to. Miracle’s confidence in Idrissa also made him think he could be successful in such an endeavour… and who would say no to that?

Now two years into his practice, Idrissa has gained a deeper appreciation and understanding for the craft. He hopes to be part of new avant-garde story-making and cinematography that will impact and inspire a new generation.
