Why I took a four-year isolation break -Singer, Seyi Shay

Nigerian singer, Seyi Shay has revealed that her four-year break from the music scene was an intentional decision to focus on self-discovery, spiritual growth, and personal transformation.

Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the singer explained that the hiatus allowed her to step back from the spotlight and reconnect with herself, both mentally and spiritually.

Shay described the experience as one of the most profound periods of her life.

According to her, the journey of transformation began even before she became a mother, noting that isolation is a “gift” that gave her the chance to look inward and gain clarity.

“I have done so much work over these past four years. The transformation of my mind started before I had my child. I started a journey of isolation.

There is something really good about isolation… I was blessed with hindsight, insight, and foresight, and I think that is the biggest gift besides my daughter that God has given me these few years,” she said.

Seyi Shay noted that this phase not only deepened her spirituality but also changed the way she perceives life and relationships.

“My spirituality has also transformed, and I am vibrating on such a different level now that I actually feel very comfortable with men. I love all the men. It is a man’s world,” she added.
