Thank you to @applemusic for celebrating Talay’s incredible songwriting legacy with a dedicated The Songwriters playlist feature on Behind the Songs.

Music was never just what he did. It was who he was. His gift continues to live on through every record, every lyric and every life he touched.

Thank you to everyone who continues to celebrate his life, his talent and his legacy. ❤️🕊️

It is with overwhelming sadness that we confirm that Mark ‘Yinka’ Orabiyi professionally known as Talay Riley passed away yesterday morning.

Talay will fondly be remembered by those who knew him publicly for his incredible talent as a Grammy Award winning, multi platinum selling songwriter & artist.

For those that knew and loved him personally it is his humour, generous spirit and unmistakable presence that will be missed the most.

We are deeply grateful for the enormous outpouring of love and support that we have received through messages, calls and visits over the past hours. Thank you for your continued consideration and sensitivity at what is a devastating time for us all.

With love,
The Orabiyi Family and Talay’s Management by @talayriley

For all the friends I have made in Sicily, thank you for making my time here Magical✨ Palermo is a beautiful city and I’ve been so inspired here, making songs in a language I don’t even speak lol, music is a universal language! And so is love! On that note, here is a preview of a song I wrote with the help of my bro @bigxsmile_ in Italian called ‘Lingua Dell’Amorè’ hope you enjoy!
