Biography

Lejla's career, launched at the age of four showcases a rich variety of performances in drama, dance, and classical piano. The daughter of a diplomat father and a journalist mother, Lejla has been exposed to numerous countries, cultures, military conflicts and dictatorships -- all of which have shaped her into the dramatic performer she is today. Lejla's parents, avid readers and travelers, spoke a total of ten languages and believed that - "you are as many people as the number of languages you speak!" Lejla took this notion to heart and passionately embarked on a journey to add more "people" to her personality. As a result of her cosmopolitan upbringing, she is fluent in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Russian, and Italian; understands Portuguese and Swahili; and performs in an unlimited number of languages and dialects, most recently Latin and Ancient Greek.
