Artist Spotlight: Lay Bankz
Lay Bankz is a multi-talented performer who is bound to make an impact on the music industry with her singing, songwriting, and dancing abilities. Growing up in Philadelphia, she developed a passion for music at a young age. She pulled influence from Beyonce, Aaliyah, and Bruno Mars which fostered her elegant yet energetic sound. As she fuses dance and R&B elements, Lay Bankz creates an unique jersey club sound that is turning heads.
What sets Lay Bankz apart from other artists, however, is her commitment to her craft. Despite her success being featured on the TikTok viral song “C'mon (Hit it One Time) by 5star”, she has remained grounded and focused, dedicating herself to continuously improving and pushing herself to be the best artist she can be. This dedication is evident in her music, which is always evolving and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the Jersey Club and R&B genre.
In 2022, Lay Bankz released her single “In My Bag” which is a testament to her evolution as an artist. Bankz's smooth vocals glide over this heart-on-your sleeve R&B Jersey Club fused track as she reflects on a lover she has complicated feelings for. Her honest songwriting paired with the energetic underlying instrumentation produced by Jumbo Beats mark Lay Bankz as a rising artist who is set to take the music industry by storm. Later in 2022, she released “IDFWY”. This powerful song carried a soulful yet elegant vocal performance over dark cinematic instrumental. With this release, Bankz proved to be an artist who can consistently release innovative music that carries emotional experiences that all can relate to.
Lay Bankz's journey is inspiring to independent artists everywhere. Her story shows that it is possible to achieve success and recognition through hard work, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of creativity. We’re excited to see what Lay Bankz has in store for 2023!
