Kaila Yu (Chinese: 于麗萍, pinyin: Yú Lìpíng) [ [http://www.yourmvp.net/kaila.html YourMVP.net ] ] , born May 16, 1979 in Taipei, Taiwan, is a Taiwanese American nude model and pop singer.

She gained popularity through modeling in import car shows. Kaila is known for her appearances in "Import Tuner", "Playboy", "FHM", and her roles in "", "House of Style", and "Dark Blue". She began college at UC San Diego and later transferred to UCLA in order to live in Los Angeles to pursue modeling and singing.

Early life

Kaila was born in Taiwan. When she was three years old, her family moved to the Inland Empire, a region in Southern California where she attended Pioneer Jr. High School and Upland High School. Pressure from her parents led her to take piano classes, ballet lessons, tap dancing classes, Chinese folk dancing classes, cello lessons, speed contests, SAT classes and attend Chinese school. Yu claims she was incredibly self-conscious and a "nerd" throughout her middle and high school years.

She moved out to Los Angeles and transferred to UCLA, where she received an economics degree.

Career

In 2000, Kaila began her personal website that required a paid membership subscription to see her pose nude in various photography spreads (usually updated once a week). Her site became a model for many other Asian models that would soon follow in her footsteps. Kaila has an underground following as she was once an amateur pornographic actress. As Kaila's music career took off, she added a second website that was devoted entirely to her music. Over time, her photographic site has taken a backseat (in terms of content) to her music career.

In 2007 Kaila teamed up with Kit E. Kat to form the group Pink Nylon. Their signature song Hello Drama is also the name for the jewelry line that the two own. Their act is inspired in part by anime and Harajuku fashion. [ [http://www.j-popworld.com/Interviews/Kaila.php J-Pop World interview] ]
