What a talent!
Music is more than a passion for Tolü Makay, it’s a calling, something she’s been drawn to since she was a child and something which she has now, turned into a full-time career. Since moving to Ireland from Nigeria when she was five, it was the one thing which helped her deal with her emotions and find her identity. It helped her form friendships and find a community. While she was regularly moving home and moving school, it was the one constant in her life – and still is.
Music has always been a huge part of your life, something you’d been working on since you were little… Not really, I just have fleeting images and memories. One of the things I remember is from a birthday and I on a beach in Nigeria with my parents wearing a white dress. It’s only small things like that. My granny is the one who raised me the most as my mom was over here trying to get herself settled. I go back quite regularly now to Nigeria so I do know places and family members.It was interesting! I felt like a passenger observing more than anything.
On that note of being positive, you found love during the pandemic, your career blew up in the best way, some good things certainly came from that time! It’s a metaphor for life in general, that even through the dark you can find light. You’ve been involved with Irish Women in Harmony, covering Dreams by the Cranberries. The group, and the songs that have been performed, just prove the level of talent and skill in the industry here.
