"Yeah mon, 'You're Right For Me' showcases my growth and another side of Laygus that most people don't know....until now," the artist says. A proud Kingstonian and Jamaican, Laygus was born Sadeki Chin. Why Afrobeats some fans might ask? Laygus also grew up with a great sense of African pride and was even given an African (Swahili & Arabic) first 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," says Laygus. "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." Where did Laygus get his name? The entertainer explains, “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," Laygus adds with a chuckle. Laygus anticipates great things for "You're Right For Me" and his new musical approach. Committed to sharing positive music with the universe, "love" is the central theme of "You're Right For Me." -- so it was only natural to release the moving song on International Lover's Day. |
