Previously known as musician Leila Neverland, this artist is reclaiming her given name, her mixed heritage, and what it means to be a truly authentic artist in modernity.

Her music gives Jazz Adjacent arrangements of her original R&B Soul tunes, speckled with a wilderness of vocal licks, classical piano prowess, and captivating instrumentations and lyrics.

Her diverse performances offer an invitation into experiences we all can understand: Those of love, death, violation, defeat, and resilience all tied up in hilarious storytelling and heartfelt truths.
