OMAIAH Hall has already reached remarkable heights, accomplishing feats that many only dream of. The ‘Soca Princess’ is making waves, placing third in the Adult Soca Monarch Competition, and being crowned the Road March Champion of 2025 with her captivating Soca song, “Breakway”, during the recently concluded ‘Mash’ season.

Since emerging on the local music scene in 2020, Omaiah has consistently honed her craft, dedicating more time and effort to her music. Over the years, she has experienced remarkable personal growth, embracing her potential to thrive as a ‘creative’, and cementing her place as a rising star in the industry.

This year also marks a new chapter for Omaiah, as she rebrands, with fresh energy and an evolved artistic vision, setting the stage for even more exciting accomplishments and greater recognition in the Soca world.

“This is no longer just a hobby; I’ve seen more dedication in myself. My friends and family would say I have a lazy spirit; that is no longer there. I want it, and I’m working so hard towards it,” she shared during an interview with this week’s Buzz.

Surrounded by creatives, Omaiah attributes her love for melodies to her humble upbringing. As a child, she often watched her mother, a dancer, and her father, a pianist, perform. She said this sparked a light in her.

THIS IS A BREAKWAY!

As more opportunities emerge, Omaiah also expressed her love for performing, especially locally, where her support system is the strongest. She noted that while her most recent hit has made waves across the region, “Breakway” was made specifically for Guyana.

She further explained that she expected the song to paint Guyana in a different light. Seeing Guyanese support the song as much as they have was something new for her.

“We’re growing. And, looking at the industry now; looking at the music now, more effort is being placed; more emphasis is being placed,” she said, highlighting the growth of Guyana’s music industry.

At the local Soca Monarch Competition, Omaiah underscored some key takeaways, including the need to work harder and execute better in 2026.

“I am proud of me; I am proud of what I achieved. It was so hard, because expectations were there, and I felt like I failed at one point. But in another sense, I felt like I won as well, because my name is being called, and I’m doing things that many people dream of. And I’m just getting started,” she said.

To top it off, just last week, Omaiah was announced as the 2025 Road March Champion.

At the time she heard the news, Omaiah was in Tobago, performing alongside Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca mega star, Fay-Ann Lyons. Speaking about this experience, she said it was a full-circle moment to be on stage with such an iconic figure in music.

“I’ve been compared to two artists a lot, and that is Fay-Ann and Patrice Roberts. Fay holds a big piece of my heart. Seeing her on her Soca Monarch stages back in the day, she was the artist that I really looked up to when it came to Monarch,” she shared.

“Being able to stand beside her, hug her, ask her for advice, speak to her, share a stage, and go on her stage; though it wasn’t a major stage, it was major for me, was everything. And then, the way the audience reacted, that was the first time they heard the song. For them to respond the way they did was so empowering and beautiful.”

In the pipeline for the ‘Soca Princess’ is her very own concert that truly represents her. In addition, she mentioned that she will be releasing new music for upcoming carnival events.

Although she works with different people for her music, Omaiah took the time to “shout out” the team that worked with her on her most recent project: Producer Zigboi Music, Writer Sucre, Lord Edit, and Elmo Studio.
