Leila Arab, musician, producer, recording artist, moved to London after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. She started recording for Rephlex Records her own style of heavily IDM-influenced soul/ambient music. She then met Bjork and became a part of her live band, going live remixing and playing keyboards. Leila has also recorded under the alias Grammatix (where she is credited as Aliel Bara) to record even more experimental and rare music. Her debut album Like Weather was a widely respected milestone and defines a period of London urban music.
Leila will represent UK at the 4th edition of Eurotribù Festival.
