With the success of her Debut Single, “Turn It Around”, BAYLA continues to beat the odds. As a child, doctors diagnosed her with a vocal cord dysfunction and told her she would never be able to sing.
In 2016, BAYLA independently released “Turn It Around”. The single quickly caught on like wild-fire at Canadian Radio, reaching “Top 40” status and peaking at #24 on the Canadian Billboard Charts. The single also went on to become a “Top 10” hit in Montreal, QC – BAYLA’s hometown. iHeartRadio chose BAYLA as their “Future Star” winner for both CHR & Hot A/C, making BAYLA one of the rare artists to be selected for both categories. Soon after, BAYLA followed up with “Monster”, an anti-bullying anthem, which was named Newcap’s “Trending Track” – the single went on to reach #38 on the “Top 40” Canadian Billboard Charts.
Since, BAYLA has been performing her energetic and anthemic pop sound across Canada. She has performed in many Festivals including Stars & Thunder, The Big Feastival, Festival Du Voyageur, Glowfair, and many more. As a member of the LGBTQ+ Community, her involvement in many Pride Festivals has also been a great highlight. BAYLA has opened and shared the stage with artists including Simple Plan, Bif Naked, Lights, Karl Wolf, Aaron Carter, Charlotte Cardin, Andy Kim and Tom Cochran.
BAYLA was announced as the 2019 Canada’s Walk of Fame “Emerging Artist of the Year”, winning the Grand Prize in their RBC “Emerging Musician Program”. More recently, SOCAN selected BAYLA for the TD Incubator for Creative Entrepreneurship Program.
Since the pandemic, BAYLA has found herself more involved with writing and producing music for other emerging artists. Her work behind the scenes can be found on Radio Hits including Yung Leo’s “Habit”, which hit the Top 25, and Billie du Page’s “Fake Friends”, which entered in the Top 10 at Canadian Radio, and hit #1 at Quebec Radio for sixteen consecutive weeks at the end of 2024.
