This time last year I was holed up in my tiny room not knowing if people would ever hear my songs – Omah Lay

Nigerian singer-songwriter, Stanley Omah Didia professionally known as Omah Lay, took to Twitter to reflect on his life and how much it has changed in just one year.

The “Bad Influence” crooner said by this time last year, he was in his tiny room singing songs he didn’t know whether people would ever hear or like.

Today, he’s a popular singer whose songs get Nigerians and people of other nationalities dancing.

He tweeted: “This time last year I was holed up in my tiny room singing my guts out, not knowing if people would ever hear or even appreciate these songs.
 
“Fast forward few months later, those songs came together to become an EP titled ‘Get Layd’ and that shit changed my life!!!
 
“I see myself everywhere, hear myself everywhere, feels great! Everything I ever wished for.”

He added: “But with it went the simple things of life, I miss being Stanley!!! Got me asking myself sometimes WHAT HAVE WE DONE???!!! Don’t mind me, this shit is still new to me.”
