Nigerian singer and songwriter Omah Lay is set to debut in Zimbabwe on 10 November 2023.
The Soso hitmaker will be performing in Harare as part of the “Boy Alone World Tour” alongside a stellar line up of Zimbabwean performing artists.
The concert starting at 6pm at Old Hararians Sports Club will see Ammara Brown, Young Gemini, ExQ and Takura all performing on the night.
Also on the decks will be Rax The Dj.
Details of the show are on www.hiddenculturetickets.com and is put together by Kayse Connect.
Omah Lay is a firm favourite in Zimbabwe where he follows in the steps of several other Afro-beats musicians from the West African country the likes of Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, Joeboy and Fireboy DML.
A quick perusal of Omah Lay’s biography on the internet say that he rose to prominence in early 2020 after his self-produced single, Bad Influence, which went viral on social media.
Omah Lay started out in a rap group under the stage name Lil King. He later moved on to songwriting and music producing, which went largely uncredited, and as a result of that, he released “Do Not Disturb” in April 2019. Hello Brother was released a month after.
He signed to a record label named KeyQaad in June 2019, and took a seven-month break. During the break, he worked on his debut EP Get Layd.
Oma Lay told OkayAfrica, “I started working on it August [of 2019]. At some point I had to go off social media, stay away from a lot of things and keep my head straight to get the project right. The first song I’d recorded on Get Layd was ‘Bad Influence.’ I’d done that way before the songs we had to put on the project.”
Following the break, he released “Bad Influence,” which became the most streamed Nigerian song on Apple Music at the end of 2020.
