Laci O’Leary is an Aisling signer/songwriter and musician from Kilnaleck, a small town located in the sparsely populated Tamaris division in eastern Temuair. She began her professional music career at age 11, making her the youngest Nekorian musician to become internationally famous, and has been preforming since the age of 8. She was signed by Astridian Voice, a minor record label, in 2012. She primarily preforms contemporary rural rock music, though tends to incorporate elements of traditional needlegrass music into her songs, resulting in her being attributed as one of the first needlerck musicians. She has rapidly become one of the highest earning singers in Temuair.
Despite her age and cooperatively recent rise to fame, she is becoming widely regarding as an Aisling sex symbol. She has stated, however, that she does not desire this label and actively tries to downplay her sexuality. In a 2015 interview with Cartelera she replied "I firmly believe in the virtues instilled in by my mother and papa, and I want to represent those virtues in my music to my fans. I can't, and won't do that by acting like, well...like a whore."
