Biography
Born in London to a Turkish mother and Greek father, Leyla Diamondi was raised at the intersection of rich cultural traditions and international perspectives. Her parents immigrated to the United States before settling in the UK, giving Leyla a uniquely global outlook from an early age. Growing up surrounded by different cultures, religions, and ways of thinking shaped her belief that, beneath our differences, people are connected by the same emotions, desires, and human experiences. Music became Leyla’s first language of emotion. Leyla has achieved a No. 16 chart position on Beatport, accumulated over 4 million streams on Spotify alone for her biggest single to date 'Falling in Love', and amassed over 18,300 Shazams. She has secured multiple editorial playlist placements across Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, and earned sync placements in film, video games including Rocket League, and in-store campaigns for brands such as Hotel Chocolat. In 2026, she began touring live across Europe. Having found her artistic home in dance-pop, Leyla continues to blend emotional storytelling with the cultural influences and life experiences that shaped her. Her music is driven by feeling, identity, and connection, with songs that aim not only to move people physically, but emotionally too.
