These past releases have laid the foundation for Seyi Shay’s remarkable story in the world of music.
Hailing from Tottenham, London, with deep roots in Nigeria, Seyi Shay’s life has been a symphony in the making. Her mother’s angelic voice in the church choir, her sister’s melodies for the BBC and her brother’s beats in London’s clubs all contributed to her musical upbringing. At the tender age of six, she took her first steps onto the stage as a member of her school choir, setting the stage for her global journey, which included performing with the London Community Gospel Choir in 13 cities in Japan.
This year, Seyi Shay made a joyous return with “BoBo,” a single that celebrates the rhythms of love, freedom, and the sheer joy of dancing to life’s melodies. It’s a reunion with an old friend and a fresh taste of something new.
