Performed accompanied only by a simple guitar melody, before giving way to a strident rap, Pronounced Laila E gives a voice to the voiceless with her hard hitting and emotive lyrics, while putting herself in the position of those whose stories would otherwise not be told.<\/p>\n
Pronounced Laila E first started to use music and write lyrics ten years ago as a tool to overcome past trauma. Her rhymes focus on issues such as homelessness, and draw on her personal experiences with mental illness and awareness. Speaking of her music, Pronounced Laila E says,<\/p>\n
\n“I wish to be a voice to those who need to be\u00a0heard and those who need to heal.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The artist cites her inspirations as being The Beastie Boys, and Faithless, and as result her music has a diverse quality to it.<\/p>\n
Although all live shows are currently postponed, Pronounced Laila E will be performing a live show on NSB Radio, the date of which is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
