Beyond her original material, Leila loves immersing herself in the works of others. Her diverse repertoire spans several hundreds of songs, ranging from pop, folk, soul, and rock music, to jazz standards, film/television soundtracks, and classics in English, Arabic, French, and Spanish. Her perfect pitch allows her to easily learn tunes (and take on-the-spot requests!) for any occasion and setting, including corporate functions, private parties, weddings, high-end restaurants, and luxury hotel/resort lounges.
Leila has enjoyed a weekly solo residency at Calamigos Guest Ranch in Malibu, where Nick Jonas told her she was “absolutely killing it” one night. She has also regularly performed at The Maybourne and Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, The Victorian and Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica, the Montage Hotel in Laguna Beach, the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, and the Dinah Shore Palm Springs Estate (owned by Leonardo DiCaprio).

Testimonials:
“...the ultra-talented young Lebanese singer Leila Milki (...) took over the stage and serenaded the crowd with an astounding display of talent that mesmerized our hearts and minds.”
“Leila is a talented musician, and we were so lucky to have her perform at our wedding. We saw Leila perform a few years back at an event, and I knew I needed her to perform at our wedding. We were enamored by her ease in mixing English, Arabic, and French music, as well as her musical talent. As fellow Lebanese-Americans, we appreciated her ability to move between these languages and styles and looked for this quality in our entertainers for our wedding. Leila was easy to work with and was very accommodating of our musical requests. Notably, she learned an entire religious wedding ceremony for our wedding. I’m so grateful for this because it made our ceremony that much more special. I only wish we weren’t taking photos during our cocktail hour so we could hear her perform! Our guests were shocked and blown away at her talent, and she was the best surprise entertainer to have. We are big Leila fans and can’t wait to hear her perform next. ”
“Leila was a hit at our surprise engagement party! Her talents were astounding and the repertoire of music exactly fit what we needed. She was extremely friendly to work with and even took requests from our guests! We really appreciated her flexibility and professionalism during this happy yet stressful time. She was extremely punctual and flexible enough to stay as long as we needed her. We are thankful to her for making our engagement memorable, and we hope to have her play at our wedding in the future!”
“Leila was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her professionalism and talent exceeded our expectations. We contacted her only a few weeks before our wedding and she was able to accommodate our special requests and was even so patient when we made changes to the songs. I would use her again without a doubt; she is very talented and her performances seem effortless!”
