Leila

Welcome to My Space. I hope you enjoy your visit. Besos and all the light. Lei



As the lead singer for the alternative rock band Antigua (the name of a colonial city founded in 1543), Leila quickly attracted a loyal fan following and saw early successes, writing songs and collaborating with Didi Gutman from "Brazilian Girls" in the soundtrack of the award-winning Washington Heights, and the controversial Latin Boys Go to Hell, and releasing Sueos (Dreams), an album praised for its unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics.



Later she collaborated with many musicians, including songs with electronica duo "Pacha Massive" included in the soundtrack to La Mujer de Mi Hermano (My brother's wife) and upcoming album "All Good Things". Along the way, almost by accident, she also started lending her voice for jingles and voiceovers. Her voice is in national and international ad campaigns for JCPenney, Macy's, Clinique, McDonald's, Verizon and many others. The official voice for Utilisima Channel and FOX international channels and voices for Grand Theft Auto.



The daughter of professional ballet dancers, herself a ballerina for many years, art and music were in her life from the very beginning. New York was always a constant goal in her mind. Her parents had performed there before she was born and she promised herself that she would do what they could not, come live at the capital of the world. "I love Guatemala with all my heart, but this city is where I found myself and my calling, and I'm the happiest here" she says.



"I guess I had to go through the search we all go through, no one escapes that. It's slow and sometimes painful but when you find your way it's the happiest realization".
