Laylah Sophie Fernandes Heinkelein

Laylah was born in Munich into a family of athletes and artists, giving her an early introduction to both worlds. She began dancing with her mother at the age of two. By four, she had taken up gymnastics like her father and also started horseback riding. At six, Laylah discovered her passion for performing when she joined a musical school in Munich, where she has been training in acting, singing, and dancing for the past nine years. “The combination of acting, singing, and dancing at the musical school feels very natural to me. While I see myself more in front of a camera than on stage, I’m still young and excited to keep learning and exploring this amazing artistic world.” Currently in Grade 9, Laylah balances her academic life with her artistic pursuits. In addition to her training in acting and singing, she is also focusing on semi-professional gymnastics and horse riding.
