Laygus talks love
Recording artiste Laygus believes that his Afrobeat-infused track You’re Right For Me will put him on the map.
The artiste, who was recently signed to Bowen-Seales Entertainment released the track on International Lover’s Day, April 23.
“You’re Right For Me showcases my growth and another side of Laygus that most people don’t know….until now,” the singer told the Jamaica Observer.
A proud Kingstonian, Laygus was born Sadeki Chin. He grew up with a great sense of African pride borne out in his given name. As fate has it, Laygus developed a penchant for African music and, ultimately, African movies.
“I chose the Afrobeats format because of my love for African music and culture. Inevitably, their culture is a reflection of my people and culture. I feel right at home. I’ll go ahead and say, it’s in the DNA,” he explained.
He added, “Being a fan of African movies, I used to hear Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, referenced all the time. I would imitate the dialogue so much so that my friends started calling me the man from Lagos. I altered the spelling to Laygus, so that DJs would stop saying it wrong.”
Committed to sharing positive music with the universe, Laygus said: “I want this record to invoke feelings of love, especially a sense of love for your special person.”
