About
DJ Leila Moon is a songwriter, producer, and DJ specialising in funk, disco, raï, Gnawa, afrobeat, r’n’b, mahraganat, electronic, and house.

Working on her very own music by songwriting, producing, and passionately sharing it with others, she went on a personal journey that traced her back to her roots, shaped, and strengthened her identity. Leila's collective influences and intercultural experiences culminate in her energetic and eclectic live set performances. For the Nowruz festival, she is well prepared to play her favorite gems with explosive dancefloor energy.
