BIO

Layna Lae (born Marlena Trinity Georges June 27 in Boston, MA) is an American Urban Pop artist-songwriter and aspiring actress from Washington, DC. 

 

Growing up in South Florida, Layna Lae was the girl who knew every song on the radio and attributes her diverse love for music to the late Michael Jackson, Drake, 90’s R&B, Contemporary Rock and the experiences which led her to relocate to the District of Columbia after her grandmother passed away in 2012.

 

Since Lae’s 2019 debut with her self-titled single “LAYNA LAE”— (performed at the 8th Annual Passion Over Poverty Teen Talent Showcase hosted by Domestic Violence Wears Many Tags) — Lae’s lyrics have been inspired by her personal life, including ambiguous topics on lesbian relationships and her obsession over the American muscle Hemi engine.

 

IIn 2020, the self-proclaimed “Hemi Chick” took to Instagram (@TheRealLaynaLae) revealing a new feminized look with the release of her melodic and unapologetic single titled “As I Am”, where she talks about not being perfect and being accepted as you are.

 

After a phase of experimenting and finally coming into her own, 2022 was a year of reflection for Layna Lae— with her emotionally-drenched heartfelt single titled “1949” — which she released as a tribute after the passing of her grandfather, and her decision to only release the radio edit version of her late-2022 single “Copycat”; ultimately leading to the removal of any overly explicit music in her catalog. When asked about the decision to cut back on the explicit language in her music— Lae told EJP Entertainment, “I want to spread peace, love and positivity in my music.”

 

With the release of her 2023 single “Throw It All Away” - Layna Lae rebranded herself as the Princess of Urban Pop and delivers feel good vibes for anyone who dares to join her on this much needed self-motivating rant. From her lyrics “In the moment strong’s not there, search and all you find is fear, only you that stands in your way. “ Layna Lae speaks on her own personal experiences battling anxiety and that she’s had enough— making “Throw It All Away” the evolution of Layna Lae.
