Layla Moheimani

Musician / Audio Engineer

Layla Moheimani is a musician, audio engineer, and educator who currently resides in Truckee, CA.

Her lifelong obsession with music and studying different instruments, combined with her Silicon Valley upbringing, gave way to her fascination with music production and recording techniques. Some of her fondest childhood memories are of making "avant garde" recordings on her Playskool tape recorder. Amongst her other instrumental forays, Layla began playing piano at age 5, guitar at age 13, and electric bass at age 17.

She has engineered at several venues including The Chapel in San Francisco and Jan Popper Theater in Los Angeles, and has also been a staff engineer and produced numerous records at Tiny Telephone in Oakland and Women's Audio Mission in San Francisco, as well as overseeing the recording facilities at Foothill College. She was also an instructor with Women's Audio Mission, teaching their Girls on the Mic classes as well as introductory Pro Tools.

Since moving to Truckee, Layla has started releasing music under the moniker Layla Joon and restoring vintage microphones as Electric Layla Labs.
