He officially started recording his own songs in 2019 where two of his very first songs ‘Do Not Disturb' and ‘Hello Brother’ enjoyed massive airplay in Port Harcourt radio stations. The two songs enabled Omah Lay to get attention of KeyQaad Record label that would later sign him in July 2019.
After signing a record deal with KeyQaard, Omah Lay moved to Lagos where he is based to date.
