Stanley Omah Didia better known by his stage name Omah Lay was born on 19th May 1997 in Ikwere, Port Harcourt in southern Nigeria. He was born into a family with deep musical roots. His grandfather was until his death, a percussionist for the legendary ‘1970s’ Igbo Highlife singer Celestine Ukwu and his father was also a local drummer.

Reports state that the multi-talented singer studied at Comprehensive High School which is located in the capital city of River state before he proceeded to the University Of Port Harcourt for his tertiary education.

His hit jam â€˜Bad Influence’ which is off the EP, had become the most-streamed song on the platform in August after registering over 16.9 million streams defeating Davido’s â€˜Risky’ featuring Popcaan which had 16.7 million streams.
