PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE

A twenty-something acoustic soul singer/songwriter. who grew up listening to the classics and later developed further with the help of some of the more recent soul legends. Coming from london, i was lucky enough to always be able to find good live music venues, i'd been playing in and around central for a few years and found a place for myself on the stage, however it seems my major development as an artist came when i moved to oxford. It was here i grew up and matured. One of the biggest lessons learned was not to waste time, without devoting myself to music i was just procrastinating, i guess you know you're an artist when its all you're thinking of, you might be working a different job, living a different life, but every day you wake up and feel like you know exactly what you should be doing but just haven't found the courage to change it. Listen to your conscience, it knows what's up. My style is always developing, i don't pretend to know things i don't, but always keep an open mind to new ideas. The material i find myself writing is based around the reality, the truth, the hope for change and the fact that nothing in this world is ever just black and white, love or hate... never that simple.
