Lila Iké

As one of Jamaica’s most powerful voices right now, Lila Iké is gaining attention at home and abroad with her distinctive delivery, old-school sensibilities, and modern-day swagger. Raised by her mother and three sisters in the small town of Christiana, Jamaica, Lila started performing at Jamnesia’s open mic nights in Bull Bay, Jamaica. She caught the attention of Grammy-nominated artist Protoje, who signed her to his label and management company In.Digg.Nation Collective. In 2020, Lila Iké released her debut 7-track EP, The ExPerience, to critical acclaim via In.Digg.Nation Collective/RCA Records. She received a nomination for Best Reggae Act at the 2020 British MOBO Awards and landed performances on NPR Tiny Desk and A Late Show with Stephen Colbert with Protoje. She garnered praise from BBC, Rolling Stone, SPIN, Vogue, and The New York Times. Lila has continued to impress with singles like “Thy Will (Remix)” ft. Skillibeng, “True Love,” “Batty Rider Shorts,” “Dinero,” and “Good & Great.” She has collaborated with Jamaican stars like reggae icon Ini Kamozi, newcomer Samory I, dancehall artist Masicka and 2x Grammy nominee Protoje (to name a few) and international artists like Jorja Smith, WSTRN and Davido. Lila’s lyrics emphasize important issues like mental health and government corruption while celebrating love and positivity. With her highly anticipated first full-length album on the horizon, Lila continues to captivate audiences across the globe.
