Leila Dey been secretly mashing up the Toronto R&B scene.
Spice in the 6ix aims to showcase creatives from the GTA whose talent we think gets over looked or does not get enough shine as they should. This week’s creator, Leila Dey pronounced Lay Lah Dey, has been selected as one of our Top 6 Hidden Spices. This is an opportunity for our audience to become better acquainted with her through our brief Q&A interview.
Unfortunately we were unable to get in contact with Leila but here’s what we know so far.
Leila Dey is a Toronto singer and songwriter with influence from Lauryn Hill, Jazmine Sullivan and H.E.R. Dey’s sound can be described as smooth vocals over minimal-production.
Born in Jamaica but raised in the city of Toronto, provided her an opportunity to enhanced her talent and skills by attending inner city programs in the downtown core. The lost of her sister in 2015 really hit her hard but was able to transfer her pain, thoughts and emotions into her craft, putting her heart, mind and soul into her music.
