SAILORR

Born in Jacksonville, Florida, R&B and soul singer Kayla Le is better known by her stage name Sailorr. Of Vietnamese descent through her parents, she began by singing and acting in musicals in college, before producing her own music and moving towards a more urban solo style. Armed with her Roland SP-404 sampler and some software, she created her first tracks under the name Sailor Gooon, alongside jobs as a florist and bar waitress. After a first single entitled "Persian Rugs" in 2021, she released "Weathered " in 2023 and collaborated with producer Nascent. Her first song under the Sailorr name, "Pookie's Requiem", inspired by the film Requiem for a Dream, was released in 2024 and reached the Top 25 R&B Songs. In 2025, the singer moved to Los Angeles and followed this up with a new version of "Pookie's Requiem" in duet with Summer Walker, entitled "Pookie's Requiem (Hehe Look Y'all I Made It Longer)", before releasing the EP Cut Up and its lead track "W1ll U L13". Two more EPs follow in the spring, Down Bad and Sincerity, before the release of From Florida's Finest.
