AAlayah is the founder of D1 Studios and leader of the Detroit-based dance team, D-1Harmony. Residing in Detroit, Michigan, AAlayah began dancing with local KPOP dance teams-as a way to make friends in the growing community.

Eventually, AAlayah developed her own dance teams and they now participate in local showcases and dance competitions.

As a way to encourage and support fellow dancers, she now teaches choreography inspired by the same dancers that motivated her journey.
