Biography

The Story Behind the Voice

Liyah Bey is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter whose powerhouse vocals, commanding stage presence, and emotionally resonant songwriting have positioned her as one of today's most compelling emerging artists. Blending classic soul, R&B, blue-eyed soul, and contemporary pop into a sound uniquely her own, Liyah delivers music that is both timeless and unmistakably modern.

Her connection to music began almost unbelievably early. At just a year and a half old, she stunned her parents by singing an entire Carole King song from beginning to end — every word, every note, perfectly intact. By age ten, after delivering a major performance before thousands of people, Liyah understood with complete certainty that the stage was where she belonged.

She first rose to national prominence as a teenager during her celebrated two-year run in Lady Soul: A Tribute to Aretha Franklin, where her extraordinary voice and magnetic performances earned widespread attention and established her as a rising vocal force. Deeply influenced by the legends who shaped American music — Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michael Jackson, and Led Zeppelin — Liyah developed an eclectic musical identity rooted in soul while embracing the textures and sensibilities of modern pop.

During her years in New York, she recorded with the legendary Kool & the Gang before relocating to Los Angeles, where she quickly became an in-demand vocalist and songwriter. Her early releases, "Can't Stop Loving You" and "Million Dollar Girl," generated massive online momentum, each earning over one million views and likes across social platforms. She later co-wrote a duet for the feature film Sweetwater alongside Robert Randolph and John Burke, further cementing her reputation as a songwriter with genuine artistic depth.

Her live résumé is equally impressive. Liyah opened for Boy George and Culture Club at the Fred Kavli Theater in Los Angeles, stepped in for Lauryn Hill when Hill was unavailable for a scheduled appearance, and delivered a nationally broadcast performance of the National Anthem at a major lightweight championship event seen by tens of millions of viewers worldwide.

She is currently building momentum with a series of emotionally powerful new releases, including her acclaimed single "Abused" — a bold, vulnerable, and vocally stunning track that showcases everything that makes Liyah Bey an artist impossible to ignore.
