Returning to Henley Festival after performing on the RISE Emerging Talent Stage in 2025.

Hailing from Swansea, Wales, the Welsh-Jamaican Singer-Songwriter Leila McKenzie blends notes of Pop, R&B and a fusion of UK influences like UK Garage, 2-Step and Drum & Bass to create her signature sound.

Leila has spent a lot of the last year working on new material, writing her upcoming EP from the comfort of her bedroom. Her love for songwriting and passion for performance only fuels her desire to become the UK’s next big face of the ever-evolving landscapes of genre-defying British Pop and RnB Music.
