Moving from a supporting keyboard role with Bjrk and Galliano to put out her own record on Aphex Twins Rephlex Records, Leila is the rare female electronica songwriter that doesnt sing, choosing instead for her album Like Weather to use vocals from friends and even her own sister. Born in Iran, she spent part of her childhood there but was forced to flee to London with her family. She became interested in DJing as well as keyboards, and left college to play with Bjrk on her first album, 1994s Debut. Leila graduated to sound engineer for the second Bjrk LP, and began setting up her own home studio. Signed to Rephlex Records for a solo album, she released the single Dont Fall Asleep in 1997 and Like Weather the following year. Love Story appeared in 1999.
