LAYA – Lipstick N Leather

LAYA brings her “Lipstick N Leather” show to Union Stage, presenting a boundary-pushing blend of R&B, soul, and contemporary music. As a singer, songwriter, producer, and creative visionary, she combines infectious melodies, imaginative production, honest storytelling, and a bold visual identity shaped by fashion, art, and culture.

Her work explores love, confidence, vulnerability, and personal freedom. With releases such as “Yeeha,” LAYA highlights a playful confidence and evolving sound while pursuing an independent creative path. Managed by BLACKSMITH holdings, she draws inspiration from artists and cultural voices including Dave Chappelle, De La Soul, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Vince Staples.
