(Los Angeles, CA) Four new famous voices are now greeting guests at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), welcoming travelers to Los Angeles as the latest in the airport's "Voices of Los Angeles" project.
In July, LAX launched “Voices of Los Angeles,” playing recorded messages from iconic local figures who reflect the diversity, creativity and wow-factor you can only find in the City of Angels. The “Voices of Los Angeles” include local entertainers, sports figures, musicians, actors, chefs and other celebrity voices that echo the spirit of Los Angeles. The four newest voices now playing include:
- Billie Eilish, singer-songwriter and Los Angeles native
- Issa Rae, native Angeleno, co-creator, writer and Emmy-nominated lead actress in the HBO television series “Insecure” (which takes place in the City of Los Angeles)
- Jared Goff, quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams
- Zedd, Grammy award-winning record producer, DJ and musician
“Los Angeles is the City of Stars, and LAX is excited to bring the voices of some of these stars into our airport with inspiring and engaging messages that welcome all to our great city,” said Deborah Flint, Chief Executive Officer, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). “The Voices of Los Angeles project has proven to be extremely popular with our guests, and we're excited to continue showcasing entertainers, athletes and more as a fun way to surprise our guests and celebrate the diversity, creativity and talent of these incredible Angelenos.”
The messages, which will rotate throughout the day and be replaced on a regular basis with new voices, will play on the overhead announcement system inside each terminal. The messages will identify each speaker and welcome travelers to LAX and the City of Los Angeles.

Additional Voices of Los Angeles will be announced as they are included in the rotation.
LAX, the sixth-busiest airport in the world serving nearly 66 million guests in 2022, is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), a proprietary, revenue-generating department of the City of Los Angeles that also governs Van Nuys Airport (VNY). As the international gateway to the Southern California region, LAX and its partners are dedicated to meeting global airport standards for customer satisfaction, safety, regional economic leadership, organizational performance and sustainability.
To better serve the millions of domestic and international guests that travel through LAX each year, the airport is undergoing a multi-billion-dollar capital improvement program to modernize its entire campus. Initiatives underway include an Automated People Mover, a Consolidated Rental Car Facility and two projects that will each add over one million square feet to the airport's existing property: Terminal 9 and Concourse 0.
