Born Alecia Tameka Gre, Lila Iké was born in Christiana, Manchester, Jamaica.
Music was always her first love.
And though she graduated from Manchester High School and enrolled at Northern Caribbean University in Mandeville, her musical career was always calling.
After moving to Kingston, she began singing under the moniker Lila Music which evolved to Lila Iké based on Nigerian name Ikéchukwu, which means "power of God."
In 2017 she signed with Protoje's In.Digg.Nation label and toured in 2019 across Europe, including Rototom Sunsplash and Reggae Jam.
Her first album was released in 2020 entitled The ExPerience.
Some of her singles include: "Biggest Fan," (2017), "Gotti Gotti" (2017), "Second Chance" (2018), "Where I'm Coming From" (2019), "Sweet Inspiration" (2019) and "I Spy" (2020).
