Early Life & Education

Alaya High, known professionally as That Girl Lay Lay, was born on January 28, 2007, in Houston, Texas, United States. She is of African-American ethnicity and was raised in a Christian household, where she performed Christian rap covers for her local church’s youth ministry.

Her early exposure to music came through her father, Acie High, a rapper and musician whose songs include Kanye Mad and Be Honest. Alaya began rapping at the age of five, inspired by accompanying her father to the studio. Her mother, Antanique Landry, is a fitness trainer. Alaya has a younger brother, though his name is not publicly known.

Growing up in a supportive family, Alaya’s parents nurtured her musical talents by posting her rap and hip-hop covers on YouTube and Instagram, which helped her gain early recognition. She completed her elementary education at a local high school in Houston but transitioned to homeschooling to balance her burgeoning career with her studies.

This allowed her to pursue music and acting while continuing her education. Her viral freestyle of BlocBoy JB’s Shoot in 2017, recorded in her father’s car, marked a turning point, propelling her to fame and leading to her signing with Empire Records at age 11, making her the youngest female African-American rapper to secure such a deal.

The viral success led to her signing with Empire Records in 2018 at just 11 years old, making her the youngest female rapper to ink a deal with a major label. That same year, she released her debut single, “Go Lay Lay Go,” and her first album, Tha Cheat Code, setting the tone for a fast-rising career.

In 2020, Lay Lay expanded into acting with a landmark overall deal with Nickelodeon. She starred as Sadie in That Girl Lay Lay (2021–2024), a comedy series in which she played a virtual avatar who becomes a real-life best friend. The show, blending music and comedy, ran for two seasons and introduced her to a broader audience. She also made guest appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, JoJo & BowBow Show, and Group Chat with Jayden and Brent.

Beyond music and television, Lay Lay has built a growing brand. She launched Lyrics, her own lip gloss line, and Fresh Rebel, a fashion brand reflecting her bold style. With over 2 million Instagram followers and a thriving YouTube channel with hits like “Mama” (2020), she continues to expand her influence.

From performing at the Essence Festival to opening for Lil Baby in 2020, Lay Lay has proven herself as a dynamic force in entertainment.
