Born Stanley Omah Didia in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria. He spent most of his teenage years at the Marine Base, where he started doing music as a part of a teenage rap group and went by the name Lil King. Years down the line, he started trying his hand at music production and by 2019 he had become the neighbourhood go-to guy for music production.

After he produced a couple of songs that enjoyed some success in Port Harcourt, he thought he could do so much more - and that's when he dusted off his mic. The same year he recorded 'Hello Brother' and 'Do Not Disturb', which went on to enjoy radio rotations in Port Harcourt, earning him his record deal with KeyQaad.

Omah's music is deeply Afro Fusion - with his biggest strength lying in his song writing. According to him: 'I take my time with every song. I'm not one to just knock off a song immediately, I have to listen to the needs of the song'.

He dropped his debut EP 'Get Layd' to rave reviews, garnering over 200m streams on all platforms, spending 3 months as the #1 album on Apple Music Nigeria.

Omah Lay's second EP, 'What Have We Done', became his second project in a year to reach number 1 across multiple charts and platforms.

He has also attracted a host of award nominations. including The HEADIES' 'Next Rated' (winner) and MTV MAMA 'Breakout Star of the Year' categores.
