Whelan’s Upstairs
Leila Jane is an independent Dublin-based artist who grew up in the contrasting locations of London and Donegal. Her initial desire to write music was inspired by the blues and has since grown into a multifaceted vocal delivery of branched-off genres, including indie, soul, pop and folk. Her distinct voice, likened to ‘the sultry folk of Karen Dalton’ by Hot Press magazine, can often be heard echoing from the Grafton Street busking spots. No stranger to playing the likes of Electric Picnic and Glastonbury during her music college days at BIMM Dublin, Leila Jane spent her lockdown making recordings and visualising music videos. This gave birth to the release of ‘Joe’ last year, which Hot Press noted as ‘’well worth the wait’’ and showing ‘’how much she has grown as a songwriter’’. Her next music video Dance With Me is set to be dropped on 11th November and represents the first track on her upcoming EP, Revolve Evolve.
