Music
Music! You know it, you love it, it's all but the thing I do. I've been lyricwriting since 2nd grade, playing instruments since 4th, producing music electronically since 6th, releasing it professionally since 12th, and performing it whenever I got the chance to all along the way. When I was 2 and 1/2 years old, I responded to hearing adults singing faster than I responded to hearing adults calling my name; that's how deep this runs.
I release music under two names. As Natanya, I create and put out electronic and/or folk pop written in English. You'll find my most up-to-date releases on Bandcamp, where I put out singles more or less as I make them; I then arrange albums from the most recent releases and put them on Spotify and similar places. Here's a sample below!
As jan Usawi, I make generally more EDM-leaning pop and rap music in Toki Pona, a conlang created by Sonja Lang in 2001 with minimal vocabulary and simple-to-learn grammar. Those songs are all on Bandcamp as well; a Spotify compilation release is forthcoming. Have another sample!

About Me
*pssst! click the picture of me to return to the home page!*
I am a singer, songwriter, composer, producer, poet, essayist, ttrpg writer, conlanger, witch, outsider dancer (not formally taught), and outside dancer (dances outside). I use any pronouns, but would prefer that you switch it up fairly frequently.
The name of this site is in reference to Lailah, the angel of conception, fate, forgettance, and war. How come? A strong personal significance to me and my view of things (find out more through the Games and Poetry windows [once they're up]), and a love for singsongy words.
