Lejla Bajrami was born in Switzerland in 1998. At the age of 10, she began showing an interest in music by joining the school choir and orchestra, where she learned to play the guitar in Skopje, North Macedonia.

In 2014, Lejla enrolled at the Music and Ballet School I. N. Lluj in Skopje, where she studied music theory and learned to play the piano. During her time at the school, she discovered her passion for sound art and began exploring different forms of sound creation. After completing her studies in Skopje in 2017, Lejla moved back to Switzerland to pursue her interest in sound art further.

In 2020, she completed her Bachelor's in Sound Arts at the University of Arts in Bern, Switzerland. Later on, she earned her master's degree in Contemporary Arts Practice at the same institution in 2022. During her studies, she explored sound installations, spatial and binaural sound compositions, live electronics, sound composition for theater and film, podcast and audio play production, among other areas.

Lejla's art installation 3 Unsynchronized was exhibited at the Pasquart museum in Biel, Switzerland, in 2022 as a practical part of her Master's Thesis “Space and Interaction in Artworks”.

In 2021, Lejla won the Best Sound Design Award at the Upcoming Filmmakers Festival in Luzern, Switzerland, for the animated movie "UNKNOT" from Alexandra Siebert. In 2020, she also won an audio play competition at SRF (Swiss Radio Television) as part of a team of author, director, voice artists, and sound producer.

Lejla has worked as a technical and sound assistant at the University of Arts in Bern and completed internships in various fields of art, including music festivals, podcast production, and radio.

She is presently employed as a sound engineer at Theater Basel in Switzerland, and is also assisting artists K.S and V.M. In addition, she is involved in several art projects, either as an individual or in collaboration with others, primarily within Switzerland's confines.
