About Me

Hola.I'm Leyla...I met my singer-self six years ago at university when i was strumming away in halls. I sang a couple of lines over a few chords and a friend insisted that I have a verse finished by the end of the day. A second verse by the next. A chorus the day after that. By the end of the week I had my first song. It was pants...but had there not been the bribe of no hot chocolate if I didn't do as I was told...I wouldn't be wondering what to write right now. Hmmn. The song was so pants there was a 2 year gap before I wrote the second but there we are.A few years later, this is where I am. It's still very early days. But we all have to start somewhere : )I love music. It's the best thing I know (apart from my friends...and surfing).So please bear with me as I update this page...need to re-record some tracks but i'll add more soon.Cheers for stopping by!Leyla© AV_layouts /surfourspace.net premade layouts surfourspace.net
