Writer, performer, producer, technician, Lay achieves all of these with creativity, precision and flare.
His taste is eclectic - R N B, Reggae, Acoustic Folk and Hip Hop, to name a few. Lay is of Samoan and Maori ancestry, and got his grounding in gospel music. Drawing on these roots he delivers a fresh take on the silken-rich harmonies of the Pacific, artfully weaving distinctive melodies over uniquely crafted chord progressions.
