NEW ACT SHAI GUY DROPS SINGLES


Delta State born dude, Kenny Ubah-Mills (a.k.a. Shai Guy) is set to redefine the entertainment industry with his own style of music, branded to promote social values. His hit tracks, Omo Nija, Shake your body and others fully unveil his Nigerian identity outside entertaining you.
Unlike most artistes, all Shai Guy tracks are devoid of lewd lyrics, which makes it appealing to different people. He has performed in various notable shows in Lagos State and it environs. He speaks to OYINDAMOLA LAWAL on his music, fashion and style.

Why he venture into music
At the age of 12, I noticed I had a gift of being able to express myself in the midst of people. So, with the encouragement I got from people around me, I started miming songs — rap and R n B — before I gradually began to write mine. My songs are based on our cultural values. I also used it to express my life’s experience. I went professionally in 1999 and have performed in various clubs in Apapa and Surulere and with artistes such as Fryo,
My music is designed to entertain, educate and disseminate value-laden messages.

I have a track titled Ki La Ma Se; it is appealing to the society at large and calls the government to listen to our cry. I also have a commercial song, which has a message that will make a great impact on the people.

To get people to listen to your music and to make them believe you can deliver.
The name Shai Guy
From childhood, I have been shy mixing with the female folks, so, I thought of a name that would reflect that behavior, and that was how I arrived at the name Shai Guy.
