Myspace Backgrounds
Alisa Bodai is a Jersey-born girl raised in upstate NY. She started music at an early age when her mother introduced her to guitar and piano at age 6. Both of Alisa's parents had musical backgrounds - her mother a singer/actress with opportunities on Broadway, and her father in acapella groups. Alisa started singing very early in life and spent most of her childhood learning all about music. During high school and college, she turned her energy toward tennis, with the help of tennis scholarships, played on state levels and won a few tournaments. Then quickly went back to focusing on music, realizing music was her true passion. The next thing she knew she was playing drums for various bands such as punk, hardcore, christian metal and christian blues rock, along with church worship teams. She got experience as a recording engineer/producer/manager at College of St. Rose in Albany, NY while majoring in music recording & business while studying percussion. Alisa booked tours and managed local bands while recording demos for various other bands in the studio.
While in college, Alisa realized her heart was to bring a positive message to people through music. She formed a three-piece christian rock band called Impact, who ministered to all ages thru music and teaching. Within the first three years, Impact played lots of concerts around the area and toured much of the east coast. They opened for some popular acts like christian recording artists, Sierra, got radio play and media coverage, great fans, released an album, and many were touched by the message Impact brought forth. Soon after in 2000, the band moved to Sarasota, FL to focus on full-time music together. They worked with a couple different churches and played many events & helped a traditional church start a contemporary music service. Impact released two more albums by 2002, but shortly after, their singer moved back to NY. Impact split up when the rest of the band (bassist, Steve and drummer, Alisa) decided to stay in FL. At that time, a door opened for Alisa to lead worship, in which she soon felt strongly the call to become a worship leader. Soon after, she had an opportunity to lead music for conferences, youth and young adult groups, and various other events. At the same time she started leading contemporary worship songs, she started writing a lot of her own songs. In 2004, after four years of marriage to bassist, Steve, her daughter was born which entirely changed her focus on life for the better. Alisa took on less to focus on her transition to motherhood, but continued to lead worship where she could. In late 2005, she moved back to NY with her family to continue a life of music.
In 2008, Alisa recorded a single for the Indevo Records compilation which promotes indie artists for Fervent & Word Records, and did various projects for other artists. She occasionally leads worship and plays drums for the worship team at Church of the King (Queensbury, NY), and plays drums for Global Day of Prayer and many other area events.
Anyone from the myspace community, or other artists/bands, managers, producers, and labels are welcomed to contact Alisa if you're interested in partnering together or just to share about your experiences and relate to one another.
