<b>Easy Jay</b> was born <b>Oluwashola Raymond Oyekan</b>, in the ghetto of Mushin, Lagos State, he is the first child from a family of three. At age 12, while in High School, his parents got a divorce and split up the family. That would take a toll on the young man, who went through primary education at Queen Maris International School, before moving to St. Saviours International School.
Easy Jay watched his parents go through a divorce as a kid. But that didn’t stop him from finding his path.
Irrespective of the breakup, he carried through his education, and found a way to move past the hurt to keep loving his parents.
Music came to him in middle school. At 13, he was already trying his hands at song writing, and would use school free periods as mime sessions. All of these got him the colourful nickname ‘Sholi Akon’. He was also popular for his rare accent and scintillating vocals.
His first recording experience came in 2015, where he impressed in the studio, snagging an instant management deal with the producer, which helped him get more music recorded and developed his talent.
Easy Jay was signed to <b>G-Worldwide Entertainment</b> in 2018. He operates across genres, blending elements from Alternative RnB, Highlife and Afro Pop.
“In few years, I want to inspire a young boy somewhere in Africa or anywhere around the world watching me on TV to say “I want to be just like Easy Jay,” he says.
