Layla Kaylif is an English–Arab singer-songwriter and filmmaker known for her genre-bending, lyrics-first approach that blends poetry, pop, and cinematic storytelling. After studying Arabic at Oxford University, she signed with Edel Records and released the international hit "Shakespeare in Love", which received critical acclaim as BBC Radio's Record of the Week and a top ten success across Southeast Asia. 

Following her award-winning work in film, Kaylif returned to music with her album Lovers Don’t Meet (2020) and the poetic single "God’s Keeper" (2024/2025). Her new album, Call Of The Yoni is an immersive experience that’s bound to deepen her reputation in becoming, as Curious For Music states, “one of the UK’s most intriguing under-the-radar voices... a boundary-walker between genres and cultures".
