SEYI SHAY
Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua, known by her stage name Seyi Shay, is a recording artist, songwriter and producer who was born and raised in London to Nigerian parents. Shay has toured with P. Diddy and Beyoncé in the UK before now, and has written and worked with a number of the industry`s finest like Brian Michael Cox, Chipmunk, Rob Knoxx, H-Money, Cameron Wallace, Jolyn Skinner, Joshua Tree, and Joe & Brian Higgins, to name a few.
This singer/songwriter`s journey started in the UK where she was part of the musical group ”˜Boadicea`. She returned to Nigeria and dazzled us with hits ”˜Like Loving your way`, ”˜No lele` and ”˜Irawo`. But it wasn`t until her single, ”˜Murda` that she really struck gold.
Her vocals are as solid as her lyrical strength. She can switch from traditional RnB to Reggae, and then Pop without dropping in delivery and quality. She was nominated for the 2014 Channel O Music Video Awards` ”˜Most Gifted Female`, the City People Entertainment Awards` ”˜Musician of the Year (Female)`, the Nigeria Entertainment Awards ”˜Female Artist of the Year`, the World Music Awards World`s Best Song for “Ragga Ragga” as well as for ”˜World`s Best Video`. She finally landed herself the City People Entertainment Awards for ”˜Best New Musician of the Year (Female)`.
So far, she is making the right moves everywhere she turns. She recently inked an endorsement deal as the face of Hollandia Yogurt, as well as an endorsement deal with telecommunications service provider Etisalat.
