Aderayo Odebiyi
Aderayo Odebiyi is a soul jazz singer who blends
contemporary and classical music to tell her
audience the beautiful story of God, life and
nature.
Born in Lagos, Aderayo spent her younger years
experiencing the northern and western culture
because of her traveling father whose job took
him from city to city. She eventually moved from
Gombe to Lagos where she finished her
secondary school education.
Her musical journey started for her in secondary
school, where she had to lead the school's choir
which she did beautifully and even got an award recognizing her as ‘’Most Gifted Singer’’
in the school. This quest further led her to join a singing group called Lifestyle in Somolu.
With Lifestyle, she explored music and singing more which gave her the sure footing she
needed professionally.
Her love and passion for music even became much stronger that she gradually ditched
her initial desire to study Occupational Therapy in the university which would have
pleased her father.
She enrolled in a number of singing contests to show her singing prowess and made
friends who are now noted industry people along the way.
