Omah Lay Reflects on How Growing Up in Nigeria Shaped His Strength and Uniqueness

By  Milcah   Tanimu

Nigerian singer Omah Lay recently shared insights into his upbringing in Nigeria and the profound influence of his family on his career during an interview on the Zach Sang Show.

Reflecting on his childhood, Omah Lay described his experience growing up in Nigeria as both challenging and formative. “It was beautiful growing up in Nigeria, where you have less,” he said. “Now that I have more, I can use my experiences and resources in ways that people who have always had more might not. In my opinion, it makes you very strong and unique.”

When asked about his parents’ pride in his success, Omah Lay expressed deep gratitude, particularly highlighting his mother’s unwavering support. “My mum is very proud,” he shared. “She knows I love her so much, and she loves me so much too. Her love for me is my fuel. I just look back at her and see how far we’ve come, and my energy doesn’t die. She’s very proud of me and trusts that I’m going to be an awesome human being. That keeps me going; it’s very motivating.”

Omah Lay also touched on his family’s rich musical heritage, which has significantly influenced his own path as an artist. “My dad played the drums—not professionally, but he played on the chairs, in the dining room, and stuff,” he revealed. “My granddad was a percussionist; he played for some legendary high-life singers in his day. I think that’s part of where my whole music thing came from. Growing up and realizing that your granddad was a percussionist is another validating fact that I was born a musician.”

Omah Lay’s reflections provide a glimpse into the roots of his artistry, highlighting how his upbringing in Nigeria and the love and support of his family have shaped his journey to success.
