Born on April 28, 1996, in Lagos, Nigeria, Lojay grew up in a musically rich environment. His mother, a pastor, introduced him to gospel music, while his father, a construction manager, instilled a strong work ethic.

Lojay began his music career in 2016, debuting with the EP Midnight Vibes in 2017. Tracks like “Atarodo” and “Whine & Bubble” caught the attention of listeners. Over the next few years, he continued to evolve, releasing singles such as “Ariel” and “Ogogoro.” However, it was his 2021 collaborative EP LV N ATTN with producer Sarz that truly put him on the map. The project’s standout track, “Monalisa,” was later remixed with Chris Brown, propelling Lojay to international fame and charting on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart.

In 2022, Lojay earned multiple nominations at the Headies Awards, including Best Afrobeats Single for “Monalisa.” His 2023 collaboration with Davido and Chris Brown on the song “Sensational” marked a career milestone, earning him a Grammy nomination for Best African Music Performance.
