Nigerian music star, Stanley Omah Didia better known as Omah Lay will be performing at the 2024 Forbes Under 30 Africa summit.
This was made known by the organisers in a post via Instagram on Thursday, further announcing that the prestigious event will be held from May 5 to 8 in Gaborone, Botswana.
Forbes acknowledged Omah Lay as a significant figure in the Afrobeat scene and also praised him for the beauty of his voice and its ability to deliver a range of emotions.
The magazine wrote in part; “The 25-year-old singer and producer’s brand of Afro-fusion effortlessly pulls from his deep personal history with West Africa’s percussion-heavy highlife genre, as well as his enthusiasm for the popular sounds of his generation—from classic rap to the Afro-beats empire flourishing in his home base of Lagos.
“His voice beautifully unravels tales that range from introspective to romantic to gratifyingly explicit, and expertly laid over lush and soulful production.”
