Leila pronounced (Lay-la) is a multilingual artist/songwriter whose musical style has the capability of reaching many different cultures and crossing many musical genres. A truly international artist, she was born in Argentina to Spanish parents, grew up in Barcelona and Valencia Spain and later moved to Canada.

Embracing Soul, R&B and Latin rhythms with "World" undertones in a smooth, sultry and warm style, Leila's sound is a soulful, fusion of passionate rhythms, percolating grooves, sensual vocals and romantic flamenco guitar. Fueled by her desire to celebrate and honor the diversity of humanity and to create uplifting concerts that appeal to the heart, her songs reflect this committment

NEAR AND DEAR TO HER HEART:

Why this name?
No interesting stories here....Leila is my name, and since I am a solo artist a name such as "Psychadelic Naptime" or "Dorky and the 5 nothings" didn't seem appropriate (ha ha)
Do you play live?
I just recently opened up for Grammy award winning Latin stars Gilberto Santa Rosa, Gisele and Charlie Zaa. This was at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut to a sold out audience of 10,000! Needless to say it was an incredible experience! I was also blessed with the unbelievable opportunity to perform at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch! That was one of those amazing moments in life that couldn't be predicted and my band was truly blessed!.

As for interesting performing moments how about this.....I once did an outdoor show for 10,000 people with a chimpanzee riding a unicycle and three elephants (with a bit of an attitude I might add)this was when I belonged to an amateur performing group in Canada. This is no joke, it was quite an experience but I swore I would never be outstaged by a primate again!!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It is the most empowering and overwhelmingly gratifying tool to come out for the independent artist! There are alot of kinks to be worked out as with any new technology and standards have to be drawn out but the fact that I can even be on this site uploading my music and letting my words and thoughts reach across the globe is amazing! The days of waiting are over we have a new platform for our art!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the deal was RIGHT..... But it would have to be the RIGHT DEAL and I wouldn't need to convice anyone of my artistry. I would just let them in and invite them to see my "world". Hopefully we would connect and have mutual goals and an excitement that would truly proove to be an enduring business relationship.
Your influences?
India. Arie, Sade, Alabina, Maxwell, Chante Moore, Gloria Estefan, Gypsy Kings, Don Henley, Karen Carpenter, Kaoma....the list goes on, so much talent and diveristy in this world. I am moved by profound lyrics and true musicality no matter what the genre.
Favorite spot?
Spain (where I grew up)
