Meet Keila Lachaar: The Teen Songwriter Making Everyone Feel Less Alone

At just 14 years old, Keila Lachaar is already proving that courage has no age limit. Playful, generous, and brimming with unstoppable energy, she’s crafting songs that feel like a hug when you need it most—and a spark of hope when you think you’ve run out.

Growing up with a dad who played guitar and sang, Keila fell in love with music as soon as she could wrap her hands around an instrument. “It started when I was a tiny little girl,” she shares with a smile. “I was always inspired by him.” That inspiration became a mission: to create music that helps others feel seen.

A Voice That Speaks to Every Girl With a Broken Heart and a Big Dream

Keila describes her sound as music for sad girls who like to party and be happy. It’s a mix of bittersweet honesty and bright optimism—the perfect soundtrack for late-night talks, road trips, or dancing in your room when nobody’s watching.

Her songs are shaped by everything from random dreams and movies to her friends’ stories and her own moments of heartache. Whether she’s writing about the Palisades fire or the pain of leaving friends behind, Keila pours her whole heart into every lyric. “I love all my songs because they’re so personal,” she says. “They remind me that even the hardest moments are worth sharing.”

Creating Without Limits

With a piano, guitar, or ukulele in her hands, Keila unlocks melodies that feel instantly familiar. She starts simply—playing random chords, letting words bubble up—and from there, the music takes on a life of its own. And though she laughs about not being a producer yet—“I suck at production hahahaha—maybe one day!”—her creativity has no ceiling.

And maybe that’s what makes her music feel so alive: there are no rules, only the desire to connect.

A Community That Lifts Her Higher

Building an audience online has brought Keila not just listeners, but lifelong friends. “Social media has helped me meet amazing producers, singers, songwriters, and musicians,” she says. “They inspire me and teach me so much every day.”

Of course, there’s pressure in putting yourself out there. But Keila’s mindset is proof that wisdom doesn’t always come with age. “If it’s meant to happen, it has already happened,” she says. “I try not to compare myself to others and just live my life.”

It’s a reminder we could all use: to trust the journey, even when we can’t see where it leads.

Dreaming Bigger Than Ever

Keila dreams of performing at France’s legendary Accor Arena—a stage many spend decades hoping to reach. And if she could open for any artist? “Tate McRae!” she says without hesitation.

Her biggest wish for the future is beautifully simple: “I hope I’ve built a bigger fanbase and released more music,” she says. But with her talent, heart, and unstoppable drive, it’s clear she’s destined for much more.

And when doubts creep in, she returns to the moment someone once told her father she would go far. “Every time I doubt myself, I close my eyes and remember how I felt right then,” she says. It’s a memory that fuels her—and one that now fuels everyone lucky enough to discover her music.

A Sisterly Hand Reaching Out

More than streams or followers, Keila hopes her songs make people feel less alone. “I want my fans to feel understood,” she says. “Like they’ve got an older sister they can trust.”

Her advice to other young artists is as powerful as her lyrics: “Always trust your gut—you know what you want, so don’t let others tell YOU what YOU want.”

As she gears up to release her first official single, Keila Lachaar stands as proof that when you love your dreams long enough, eventually—they love you back.

If you haven’t heard her yet, now is the time to tune in. Because there’s something extraordinary about watching an artist this young step boldly into her purpose—and you’ll want to say you were there from the start.
