Early Life

The Didia family has a history of being music enthusiasts. Omah Lay‘s paternal grandfather was a drummer for Highlife major act – Celestine Ukwu. So it didn’t come as a surprise to Stanley‘s parents when their son decided to tow the path of music.

Aspiring to become the next big rapper, he gave himself the moniker, Lil King, and would thrill his neighbors to freestyle rap songs.

Within a few months, he had learned the skill and became a pro in the game. He started to collaborate with upcoming artists in Port Harcourt to create good music.

However, his heart was drawn back to the swinger lifestyle and he decided to give it a shot once more. Believing that he had the creative bug in him, he sat down to write the songs, Do Not Disturb and Hello Brother, which he recorded and released to the public. This was in 2019. By this time he had rebranded and settled on the stage name – Omah Lay.
