Renowned Nigerian artist Omah Lay has discussed his upbringing in Nigeria and the significant role his family has played in his achievements.
In a recent interview on the Zach Sang Show, he reflected on his childhood experiences in Nigeria and their impact on his success.
When the host inquired about his parents’ pride, Omah Lay conveyed profound gratitude for his mother’s unwavering support, emphasizing that her love and encouragement are vital to his continued motivation.
He explained, “My mum is very proud, she knows I love her so much and she loves me so much too. Her love for me is my fuel and I just look back at her and see how far we’ve come, my energy doesn’t die. She’s very proud of me and she trusts me and my decisions. She trusts that I’m going to be a very awesome human being and that keeps me going, it’s very motivating.”
The singer also opened up about his family’s musical background, which he believes has played a significant role in his own musical journey.
“My dad played the drums, not professionally, though but he played on the chairs, in the dining room, and stuff. My granddad used to be a percussionist, he played for some legendary high-life singers in his day and I think that is part of where my whole music thing came from. Growing up and realising that your granddad was a percussionist, it’s another validating fact that I was born a musician,” he said.
