Sayla

Oscillating between Alternative, Folk and Blues while anchored on Hip Hop - Sayla is a rapper with a pension for experimenting with new blends of sounds and genres.

A founding member of South-East Asian music collective - XXII, Sayla’s body of work through the years charts a bold and often unusual journey into new musical grounds. Each being a reflection of different headspace and narrative; every project a deliberate divergence from its predecessor.
While “Utopian Dreams” and “Obscura” serves a taste of a young Sayla still in the midst of self-discovery, “Conversations with Self & Other Stories” marked the emergence of a more mature, well-rounded version of the artist - a constant demonstrated in follow up releases thereafter.

When not making music, Sayla finds solace in poetry, painting and theatre.
