[a-lee-sha ray] Naarm/Melbourne based and internationally raised, Alisya Rae is in a lane of her own creating soul-driven R&B paired with her smooth, nostalgic vocals. After years abroad in London, Qatar, the Netherlands and Texas, she returns to her birthplace, determined to bring her unique sound to the Australian music scene. Highly active in the Melbourne gig scene, Alisya and her band have graced the stages of notable local venues such as the Nightcat and Espy Gershwin Bandroom. Though her roots are in classical training, her songwriting leans towards the likes of H.E.R, Amy Winehouse and Yebba. Alisya reflects on heartbreak with an empowering edge through driving beats and soulful melodies, sung by her “big vocal range that demands attention and once that chorus kicks in, you’ll be dancing/singing like your soul depends on it” (Claire Mooney, Triple J).
