At the beginning of this year, fast-rising act from Rivers State, Stanley Omah Didia, well-known by the stage name Omah Lay was just a Port Harcourt boy

He announced his emergence on the music scene with singles such as Hello Brother and Do Not Disturb, which he released in 2019, and followed up with Alternate Cuts and Tonight, both this year. He got everybody’s attention with You, and Bad Influence, both tracks are off his debut Extended Play with the title Get Layd.

“So I made Bad Influence as a one-minute song but it turned out to be everybody’s favorite and they all requested that I make it a complete song. Like I said, it was inspired by a whole lot of things. It was me coming to Lagos, being exposed to a new type of life, a lot of things around me, and putting all that experience together,” he added.

His father also played the drums though he didn’t reach the heights of his father. This no doubt gave Omah more confidence in music, as he created his own brand of music, Afro-fusion, a blend of Afrobeat and Highlife genre. “My sound is afro-fusion, but I don’t like being boxed in some type of way; I’m not that kind of artiste. There are so many influences to my music,” he enthused while describing his brand of music and sound.
