Taiwo Nelson, better known by his stage name Táyé Máyègha, began his musical journey during his formative years in the Ilaje community of Majidun, Lagos State, Nigeria. Enchanted by traditional musicians and sharing musical moments with his grandmother in her workspace, these early experiences laid the foundation for his passion. 

His thirst for musical knowledge saw him attend the Peter King College of Music. He earned a diploma from the Musical Society of Nigeria’s School of Music (MUSON) and went on to complete his degree at the University of Lagos. Currently, he is a Ph.D. student in the Jazz Studies program. Taiwo's research explores the fascinating interplay between jazz and the traditional music of Ilaje, a distinct coastal and migratory subgroup of the Yoruba people in Nigeria. This investigation is evident in his innovative musical style, as he seamlessly fuses Ilaje musical elements with jazz. 

As a versatile musician, Taiwo wears multiple hats - a composer, bass player, and recording artist. As a session bassist, he frequently collaborated with the Peter Kings College band and has been a regular performer at Muson Concerts. His skills also extend to church music. Some notable performances include his 2015 collaboration with Rolake Akinkugbe at the Miliki Lounge and a 2016 performance with Stephane Wrembel at the 240th U.S. Independence anniversary in Lagos, hosted by the American embassy. 

Táyé Máyègha’s evolving discography features tracks such as Àsùse, Súùrò, Ànhúnmábé, Oorí, and Àròpin. These songs can be found on a variety of digital platforms for music enthusiasts worldwide to enjoy.
