Omah Lay Interview: Upbringing in Nigeria, Mental Health, Dreams & Life Lessons | Hey! Steph
Steph hat den aktuell innovativsten nigerianischen Artist, Songwriter und Producer Omah Lay bei seinem ausverkauften Konzert in Berlin getroffen. Dabei haben die beiden über den Release seines Debütalbums „Boy Alone“ gesprochen, das im Juli letzten Jahres erschien. Außerdem gab es für den Künstler ein besonderes Andenken - eine Tattoo-Session parallel zum Interview.
Dunkel schimmernde Vocals, ein faszinierendes Storytelling und treibende Rhythmen - diese Worte beschreiben den Stil von Omah Lay wohl am besten. Den Durchbruch erlangte er 2020 mit seiner Single „Bad Influence“, die in den sozialen Medien viral ging. Seitdem ist er mit seinem einzigartigen Sound ein fester Bestandteil der Musikindustrie.
Gegenüber Steph verriet er, warum sich seine Werke so sehr von anderen Künstler*innen unterscheiden. Der Artist selbst bezeichnet seine Musik als „zeitlos“ und erklärt, welche Zielgruppe er damit ansprechen möchte und welchen Traum er verfolgt. Des Weiteren sprachen die beiden offen über das Thema mentale Gesundheit. Wie er sich selbst als Artist weiterentwickelt hat, wie seine Anfänge waren und mit welchen Problemen er in der Vergangenheit zu kämpfen hatte, das erfahrt ihr im Video. Viel Spaß beim Anschauen!

Disagree
The girl doing the interview is more of a psychologist than an interviewer. It was more like a therapy for Omah, and anyone else who may have the opportunity to watch and listen to this interview at any point in their lives that they could be going through some low times. I’m glad I had the opportunity to really listen to this interview.

Port Harcourt is the land of real, raw and original gangsters, its been like that for centuries, just like the lands of Bayelsa and Delta, but it's also the land of talents, money and power...

guy shutup
Somebody tell Omah Lay that he's a magnet for narcissistic and borderline girls. He has a good heart, and he will always choose those girls who pretend to be weak and vulnerable. He'll try to fix and empower those girls. Only for them to take advantage of him and try to make him feel like he is the problem. Fake friends too will come around, and no matter what he does, them fake friends will say it's not enough.
"Water no get enemy till you fall inside oshimirir" Basically means anything, no matter how good and wonderful it is, can be bad or deadly in excess. Too much of anything is not good.
Makin' Port Harcourt Proud❤

When you realise perfectionism is in the eyes of the beholder, you become less critical and more free, and that's exactly what art is, a figure of your imagination manifested and presented to others to critic.
Omah lay is just inside my head talking, learn about the power of the mind is very great
Now I know where the depression thingy has been coming from our boy been high on imposter syndrome ...omah is blessed ,oluwa got you brah
Omah lay is that guy, asides being an artiste , proper connection with subconscious makes you a better person, he is living proof....blessings always ❤️
I wish I see him in person someday…
So inspirational that Steph started catching feelings. Omah is powerful

When you're around millions of people but you still find yourself being alone, you start to talk to yourself a lot and so you have a lot of answers to give and you also talk different too mostly understandable but not to everyone.
Omah lay your my best singer in this world I love you so much big up it what it is
