Leila Dey has been in and out of the Toronto Urban scene for a few years now. Starting her career off in high school and maintaining her artistry throughout her post-secondary career, Leila had to learn to balance the pursuit of education and music. Now, a recent graduate of Ryerson University she’s ready to pursue music full force. Despite appearing to be absent from Toronto's music scene, Leila has been hard at work. Over the last couple of years her textured vocals have lent themselves to collaborate with artists like Joel Ortiz, Vybz Kartel, King Reign to name a few. Not to mention performing with K’naan at Illuminato, being a part of Manifesto’s first all female cypher to recently opening for Melanie Fiona, Teedra Moses, and Tiffany Gouche. Leila is in the studio everyday, working on new material, developing her sound and voice. "Being in the studio everyday has been such a learning experience, because there's no rush to get things done fast, it's about getting it done right” says Leila Dey. Focused on being a a voice well known worldwide, Leila is preparing to release her EP in October. "I just want to make music people love, and to love the music I make." www.leiladey.com
