Bombsnax
LAYA WIG is a self-taught music producer, Spanish speaker, and multi-instrumentalist who has studied folk music across the Americas. The California born artist moved to the bay area at the age of 18 to attend UC Berkeley, where they graduated with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and an affinity for language study and travel. After traveling through Mexico, learning Spanish through music, being a street musician in multiple countries, and participating in bands based in Oakland and abroad, Laya began the journey of creating a personal sonic signature that has thus far been expressed through a live performance known as BOMBSNAX; a musical project that promotes black femme liberation, diy skill acquisition, and empowerment through community learning. Through this journey of self-teaching, Laya seeks to establish a production style informed by the Black diaspora as well as facilitate music production workshops for Black, queer, trans, and non-binary creators.
