Laila is a Toronto-based pop artist redefining what the city’s sound can be. Blending indie
sparkle, dance-pop energy, and a touch of twang, she writes songs like diary entries you can
dance to: honest, emotional, and impossible to ignore. A bisexual Palestinian-Canadian artist, she
leads with vulnerability, sharp storytelling, and a magnetic stage presence. Her music has been
heard on CBC Radio across the country, and she recently opened for Platinum-certified country
star Robyn Ottolini on The Way, Way Back Tour. Laila has also shared stages with artists like
Rebecca Black at Toronto Pride, bringing her chaotic-charming pop persona to some of the city’s
biggest events. Beyond music, she’s an actress featured in Netflix’s Glamorous and Hulu’s The
Handmaid’s Tale, adding another layer to her dynamic creative voice. With her genre-blurring
sound and unapologetic honesty, Laila is quickly becoming one of Toronto’s most compelling
emerging pop artists.
