early life
Lojay was born on April 28, 1996 to Mr. and Mrs. Lekan Osifeso into a Yoruba family.
He was named after his father, Lekan Osifeso Jr.
He is from a state in southwestern Nigeria and is the first child in the family.
He grew up in a religious home with devout Christian parents, which meant he was a regular churchgoer and rarely missed church services.
His religious background led him to discover his love for music, which he developed by listening to a few gospel songs his parents loved to play.
This similarity was fostered by Disney music as he loves watching Disney movies. Lojay is also inspired by artists such as Michael Jackson, Jon Bellion, Bruno Mars and Wizkid.
He began composing music in high school, writing lyrics in his spare time, and sang some of his songs at school events and community performances, winning the admiration of his classmates and neighborhood friends.
educate
Roger completed his elementary, middle, and high school education at elite private schools.
He went to the UK to pursue his first degree and after four years of study, he obtained a bachelor’s degree in 2018.
Profession
Logger’s first official record was released in 2016 while he was still an undergraduate. However, it was not until after graduation in 2018 that he decided to pursue a professional music career. In 2019, he released his debut single titled “Ariel”. The song launched him onto the Nigerian music scene as good music lovers saw his work and critics praised his songwriting abilities and unique voice.
In mid-2020, he released another single, “Ogogoro”, which was more of an Afro-fusion song, which made him stand out compared to other emerging musicians. “Ogogoro” was more successful than Ariel, doing well in streaming, downloads, and music charts. This song laid the foundation for him to achieve greater success in the industry.
During the pandemic, Roger contacted ace producer Saltz and expressed his desire to work with him. Saltz agreed to Roger’s request and invited him to Saltz’s studio in Lagos. Roger’s initial plan was to create a song together, but they ended up holding a 3-month training camp, which eventually led to the successful EP “LV N ATTN”. This six-song song is Roger’s official project, which is an abbreviation of “Love And Attention”.
The first single from the EP, “Tongogo,” was released on April 30, 2021 and became an instant hit, furthering Lojay’s star status in the industry. The song topped the music charts within days and garnered thousands of streams from Afrobeats music fans around the world.
Two months after the release of “Tongogo”, Sarz and Lojay launched their collaborative project “LV N ATTN” on June 4, 2021. As expected, DSP promoted the project, helping to bring it to the ears of eager fans. The two songs from the project, “Monalisa” and “LV N ATTN”, quickly became favorites.
The music video for Monalisa was released on September 15, 2021 and became a hit at clubs and parties. The video was directed by UAX Visuals and Lojay’s styling was styled by Sanusucii.
Wizkid participated in the recording of the project’s eponymous single “LV N ATTN”. According to Lojay, Sarz invited him to a studio in West London, where Wizkid was waiting for him, and they recorded the song together.
Since rising to fame, Lojay has been invited to perform at several music events in Africa and Europe. In addition, he was recently nominated by AFRIMA as the most promising African artist. This nomination came less than five months after the release of his debut EP.
