“Style in Philly – RAW. We love getting dressed, we love getting fly…”
It’s clear Philadelphia runs through Lay Bankz’s veins and shows up boldly whenever she enters a room, exuding nothing but strength, dominance and unshakable confidence.
At just 20 years old, Lay is already making waves with her distinctive sound and electric presence. Growing up, she was deeply influenced by musical icons such as Michael Jackson and Beyoncé, whose groundbreaking artistry helped shape her blend of high-energy beats and soulful R&B. Her vibrant flair and electrifying dance moves not only reflect but amplify the city’s gritty charm and renowned work ethic, making every appearance a powerful testament to her roots and individuality.
“Three words to describe my style are brash, raw and dynamic.”
SoundCloud is thrilled to bring fans closer to this next level artist through an exclusive spotlight series powered by Under Armour that offers an inside look at the journey of a rising star.
Under Armour’s new sportswear line is all about fashion, fit and versatility — ideal for any occasion and mood, whether you’re hitting the gym, out on the town or just relaxing.
They’re showcasing ‘Next Level’ creators who embody these traits with confidence and authenticity; Lay Bankz is a standout example of this spirit. As she puts it, “I’ve been wearing Under Armour since I was a pup. My personal style impacts my music because I feel like I’m so many people in one. ‘ICK’ is one girl, ‘Tell Your Girlfriend’ is another girl, and then you’ve got ‘Off The Wall’ Lay Bankz. I have to speak through all my personalities.” Her go-to Under Armour look? “Two-piece, tights and some sneaks.” Classic.

We often hear that it takes a village, but Lay Bankz truly embodies this belief. She understands firsthand the profound impact that a supportive team can have on one’s journey, with her success standing as a testament to the power of genuine support and encouragement — the chest piece in her armor.
“My team helps me become a next-level artist by supporting me and just loving me. ‘Cause it’s easy to get discouraged, but when you have people that you know are rooting for you 1000% all the time, it’s easy to win.”
This unwavering support not only uplifts her but also grounds her, making every achievement a shared victory.

Together, Lay’s journey and Under Armour’s innovative gear celebrate the essence of authenticity and changeability. As Lay continues to blaze her own trail, her personal style remains integral to her ever-evolving sound and self. Here’s to a future filled with more achievements, unforgettable moments and a lasting impact as she further establishes herself as a Next Level artist: bold, fashionable and effortlessly captivating.
