Born and raised in Southern California, Layla Bina is a punk-inspired, first-generation Iranian-American rock artist. As a teen, her love of punk pushed her to teach herself guitar, nurturing a passion for writing and producing songs. By reflecting on her psychology studies at UCLA, as well as pulling from her upbringing in an insular, utopian suburb, Layla's lyrics cover an array of mental health and social issues. Inspired by her Persian descent, Layla’s distinct voice brings a unique sound to rock. Layla is currently recording her debut album with Grammy Award-winning Producer Josh “igloo” Monroy.
