Johay

Joheobe Joel Iji, popularly known as Johay, is an exuberant Afrobeat artist born and raised in Makurdi, Benue State. While he started his music journey in 2013 as a rapper, even dubbed "Lyrical Thrillz" for his compositions, Johay's sound has significantly evolved.

His transition from Lyrical Thrillz to Johay marked a pivotal shift, transforming him from a dexterous rapper into a zestful Afrobeat artist. Now, he meticulously laces every lyric with affirmations of his faith in Jesus and total surrender to God's purpose. Managed by Lamb Culture, his distinctive tagline, "Tam Tam Johay," is a shortened form of his native name, Joheobe Tam, meaning "Thank God with me" in the Igede language.

For Johay, life is about fulfilling God's will on earth, a commitment evident in every song. He's grown from a young boy enjoying his brother's music to a star songwriter ablaze for Jesus. His music, with its trendy beats and captivating melodies, resonates deeply with younger audiences, while his passion and drive for a purpose-driven life ensure his sound remains fresh with messages of faith and divine calling.

His impactful discography includes tracks like "Praise - Afrobeat Remix" featuring Holy Drill, "I Give You My Heart", and his latest, "Stand Up For Jesus" featuring Oyije.
