My name is Layla Alexis,

I am a Chicana DJ and multidisciplinary artist based in the Bay Area. My journey started in filmmaking, event organizing, and design, and over time, these passions have come together to shape a creative practice rooted in visual storytelling, music, and community.

​​

For me, creativity is where I find freedom—blending different mediums, weaving together hypnotic rhythms, and embracing the unexpected. I pour my love for art and culture into curating spaces where everyone feels welcome, and the underrepresented can truly thrive. My DIY spirit is what keeps me going, reminding me that artistry isn’t about having it all—it’s about making something meaningful with what you’ve got.​

As Tastemaker, my goal is to share stories, push boundaries, and create experiences that are unforgettable—whether through music or the spaces I help shape.
