This bright and accomplished performer was born January 25, 1981, in Manhattan, New York. Alicia began her career at the age of four with a role in the "Wizard of Oz". She is a true musical prodigy whose multi-dimensional gifts emerged at a very early age. Her wit and intelligence are almost too hard to perceive. Alicia recognizes a number of influences, including her ultra supportive mother, who told her, "You can quit anything else but you can never give up on your piano lessons". Alicia also sites a teacher at the Professional Performance Arts School in Manhattan, who, while she was majoring in Choir, gave her valuable instruction on her voice. "This teacher spent so much time with me", Alicia recalls.
Alicia will take modern R&B soul to a whole new level of entertainment and ambition.
