   About Layla
Capitol Records Image hosted by Photobucket.com Layla Minoui is a young artist who believes in embracing reality and recreating it in what she considers a “soundtrack for the soul”. Essentially, it is her idea of taking this undulating path of everyday life, which she embodies in her music. Her melodies capture moments lived through daily experiences and oftentimes convey the innumerable challenges many of us face followed by the strength we muster. Departing from the idealistic world of "popular music," Layla expresses something pure and true to the heart. She believes that neither form nor structure should limit imagination and art. Layla started taking piano lessons at the age of five. Not long after did Layla develop an unfathomable passion for music composition, which grew immensely over the years. As a child she was awarded Second Place in Six Regions in a competition called I Can Compose Too. Encouraged by this competition, she continued to pursue her skills in composition and participated in numerous Junior Original Concerts. In May Layla graduated with a Graduate Certificate from USC's Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television Program. She is currently interning with composers Snuffy Walden and Alf Clauson. Layla is also currently working with other musicians in a band called CREO with bassist Ryan Hall and drummer, Alex McCloskey. Together, they create a ridiculous fusion of driving rhythms, dark enigmatic melodies, and a world of unexpectedness. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket LAYLA'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Not exactly... to me the top & most famous one is the CNSMDP (Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris) but i'm not sure what you need to enter it as a foreign student (altho i know there are students from various places in the different classes)and it might be a bit late to register (i dunno however, just supposing as i'm a bit familiar with those calendars). If i get any other info i will sure let you know. Keep me posted about it too, please.
