Tay Iwar is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, producer, sound engineer and multi-instrumentalist whose music moves between Afro-fusion, R&B, neo-soul, Afrobeat and experimental soul.

Raised between Lagos and Abuja, he began making music as a teenager, shaped by a wide musical language — jazz, soul, blues, reggae, hip-hop and classical training. That foundation became a sound defined by warmth, rhythm, intimacy and emotional detail.

Across more than a decade he has built a catalog that feels both private and expansive — songs that live in the space between desire and reflection, made for love, longing, late nights, distance, healing and quiet self-discovery. He works from the inside out, layering soft but direct vocals, sensual percussion, West African rhythm and spacious R&B textures into a world that's instantly his.

His 2019 album Gemini arrived through the LA collective Soulection, and his work has since travelled well beyond his own records — Grammy-nominated as a co-writer with Wizkid on “True Love” and as a co-producer on Burna Boy's “Alone,” from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, and a Grammy win as a writer on Chris Brown's 11:11, named Best R&B Album at the 2025 Grammys.
