About That Girl Lay Lay

High got her start in music after her parents began posting videos of her rapping covers of hip-hop and Christian rap songs on YouTube, according to the release.

She then began writing songs and putting them on YouTube.

High signed a recording contract with Fresh Rebel Musik in 2018 and recorded her debut album, “Tha Cheat Code,” and a single, “Go, Lay Lay, Go,” according to the release.

She was invited to perform at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2019 and then the Nickelodeon All-Star Nickmas Holiday Spectacular in 2020.

In 2019, High signed a deal with Nickelodeon to “develop original multi-platform programming, music initiatives, and build a consumer product business catering to children and teens, and highlighting young actors and creative artists,” the release said.

Part of that deal gave High her own television series — That Girl Lay Lay — where she plays “an artificially intelligent avatar on a phone app that comes to life as a human teen girl.”

Some of High’s most popular songs include “Mama” (2019), “Long Hair” (2020), “Show and Tell” (2020) and “A World by Us” (2021).

Tickets to the show will go on sale Friday, April 26 at 11 a.m. Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.
