biographical info

Alysha Brillinger’s blues and reggae influenced songs combine her funky guitar and piano playing and unique voice to create a fresh new organic vibe of music. Her father, who sometimes sits in with her band, is a musician from Tanzania. With a clever and emotional lyrical sensibility topping melodies that get stuck in your head, her upbeat songs cover everything from the perils of an omitted crush to keeping your head above water in hard times. 


A multi-instrumentalist, her on-stage banter and stories prove to be every bit entertaining as the music. Every song is hopeful and bares a trademark silver lining. Deep messages are coloured by cheeky sense of optimism that leaves the audience feeling a high when they leave. 
Alysha currently has a self-titled E.P out, and is releasing a full-length album this Christmas.

Dear Listener,

 Thanks for tuning  in! Several minutes after setting my page up to my minor satisfaction ( believe me, I could be on the computer for longer than 24 hours just editing, googling, editing).

I am actually going into the Studio again this coming Wednesday ( 4 days from now) and I am very excited. I will be recording 2 new songs with my band.  I will keep them a suprise...;)

 The production will be done by both myself and Joao Carvalho, a very talented man prominantly known for his exquisite Mastering and his Mastering studio, here in Toronto.

I'm currently living in Toronto...going to open mics, making friends with musicians, playing acoustically, with my band, sometimes singing the blues with musicians I've never met. Do I want to be FAMOUS? GET A RECORD DEAL? MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS? Maybe.

What seems more seductive though is the idea of quitting my job as a grocer. I mean...as stimulating as placing a bag of bread in another bag is, I just think it's time to move on...to paying the bills with music :).

Well...I'm going to go spend time with my family...something I don't do quite as often now that I'm busy with work/music, but thank you again for checking out my site and definately contact me, come hear me play and keep supporting talented grocers!

 xoxoxo

Much love,

Alysha
