Bio

4la7la, pronounced ‘for layla’ is a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist based in Virginia. 4la7la creates emotionally immersive soundscapes rooted in vulnerability, transformation and cinematic intimacy. Blending lo-fi textures, piano-led melodies and ambient production, her work reflects a world in flux; drifting in dreamlike narratives.

Since debuting in 2023, she has quickly carved out a space in the indie alt-pop space with series of singles that evoke introspection and emotional clarity. Her sonic sound lives somewhere between the softness of a dream and the crispness of modern R&B.
