![]() I’ll definitely be working with a lot more associated people because they’ll be a lot more familiar with Ayo Jay, a lot more familiar with the music I make. In a year, I definitely think my album will be out. So lyrically, I like to add Nigerian lyrics and the other big aspect is the fashion I wear my Nigerian clothes, and African attire. Nigeria is very fashion savvy so I try to put in a lot of the attire that people wear. Also, in the videos or at shows I like incorporate the fashion aspect. When I write I always try to incorporate my local languages into my music. Well definitely the first thing you hear when you listen to any of my songs is my accent. How do you bring your Nigerian culture into your music? Growing up, I used to listen to people like Usher, Akon, and T Pain. Who are some of your inspirations in music? Sometimes I vibe with other people but most times I go for it by myself. When I hear the instrumental or the beat that I like, I literally just sit down and freestyle the and write, I try to do all of that by myself (the composing and writing), then I’ll go to the studio with my engineer and record. Of course I have some people I vibe well with, but for the most part I don’t like to be distracted. Well, most times I like to work by myself. What’s your creative process for creating new music? Hopefully it’ll come out this year, but I’m definitely working on the album. ![]() RESPECT.: Do you have any projects in the works?Īyo Jay: Yes, definitely, I’m working on my first album. The self proclaimed, Boy Wonder, has a lot more in store than some may think, and in the next few years we’ll definitely be hearing a lot more about Ayo Jay, internationally and across more than one genre, for sure. Growing up with strict parents may have been hard for Ayo Jay, but a move to New York for school gave him just the boost he needed to practice his artistry in a more free environment. about his upcoming plans as an artist, prospective collaborations, the Afro-Pop music industry and more. Ayo Jay, the artist behind the hit song, “ Your Number,” featuring Fetty Wap (and recently remixed featuring Chris Brown and Kid Ink), recently spoke with RESPECT.
