My real name is Stephen Ohiomokhai, a cool, dynamic and versatile bad sharp guy. But people call me Jay Naize cos thats my artistic name.I am from Edo State, Nigeria and right now i’m based in Madrid, Spain.

What  Do You Do, How Would You Describe Your Presence In The Industry, Whats Your Mission?

My mission is to come take over..Blast everything gbogboni..haaa!! you know na. I want to leave a mark that others can emulate.

How Long Have You Been Doing This?

Officially i have been doing this for 3 years. I recorded some stuff in the past but it was just a navigating the learning curve, finding my niche, choosing my stuff that sort of feeling around the industry for a good pitch like normal upcoming artists do.

Notable Moments In Your Career?

What’s The Best And Worst Part Of What You Do?

The best part of what i do is that it gives me good feelings and an opportunity to express myself to the people, the way fans react to me when am on stage..They show me much love any time i step out. I feel like my dreams are finally coming true and I’m loving it.
The worst part of it is that you have to work your a**s almost to death to get there. Its not a one day job.Too many obstacles on the way. If you are not strong enough you will give up.
