Who's That Lady?
“Who’s that lady?” may be a phrase that you hear often when Laia is a topic of discussion. She is a myriad of things all wrapped up into one, strong, woman.
Hailing from the city of Memphis, Laia is an artist with deep southern roots with musical styling influences ranging from gospel, soul, funk, and R&B. Though her passion for music is heard and felt through her soulful voice it equally resonates through the power of her pen as a songwriter.
Like many of the greats, her musical journey's roots began with the church. Laia is an astute musician who has studied music and these diverse paths have merged in order for Laia to become a multi-genred performer ranging from a worship leader and team member, coral ensemble singer, session vocalist, and live performance band front woman.
As a songwriter, Laia's artistic expression adapts many voices. Having covered the genres of Country, Americana, Christian, Soul, and R&B her voice as a writer speaks to many people.
Like with her songwriting, her artistry is also expressed physically through her apparel line, 66 And Change Apparel. This apparel line takes quirky phrases and adapts biblical concepts encrypted inside of the t-shirt's graphics. With love as her primary topic of expression, both her songwriting and apparel line find ways to display her love for mankind through her art.
Laia is a daughter, sister, friend, and overcomer in her everyday life. Her artistry is an extension of the woman that is Laia.
