LAYLA ZOE (CA)
Layla is a young powerful vocalist who was born in British Columbia, Canada but now calls Montreal her home after a recent move. Layla Zoe has been singing since the tender age of four years old, including performances with her father's band at the age of fourteen. She has performed all over the world and has been rated one of the best female blues singers of her kind in Canada. She is quickly gaining a fan base all over Europe and the United States.
Layla has worked to release an album every year, and has five independent releases to date:
