LAYKE:
Growing up in conservative environment in Dallas, our next guest LAYKE (she/them) frequently felt like an outsider, but sought solace in self-expression through dance, musical theater, and writing which she incorporates in her latest project.
Layke recently released the single "No One Can Stop Us," off their new EP “Frequency”, a 90s infused dance-pop track that speaks to embracing the moment you're in, feeling everything and everyone and not letting it stop you. On the EP, she not only spotlights the enigmatic LGBTQIA+ community as well as her own bi/pansexuality, but she also touches on the normalization around discussing mental health. Unapologetically living her truth, Layke is ready to speak openly to help others find their voice with her new music— and for the universe to take note.
To date, Layke has garnered 2 million+ global streams following the release of two eclectic EPs as well as a collaboration with legendary rapper Snoop Dogg on an unparalleled version of Bastille and Marshmello’s “Happier” and has received support from Entertainment Tonight, Billboard, GLAAD, Wonderland, Ones To Watch, and Spindle Magazine among others. You can find Layke and her music on youtube/layke and on the socials at @laykeofficial
