ALICIA

I've played guitar ever since about 16 years old. I had music in me way before that. I would write songs before I even played an instrument. The guitar playing begin from the church as I played in our church choir. I had many mentors in my life and I am THANKFUL for each and every one of them all. My greatest influence in music is guitar legend "Carlos Santana". Just those certain tones. The way he hits the notes that hit you deep in your soul. I've been inspired by his music since my brother ROY (R.I.P.) played Europa on a record when I was very young. I am thankful to be around talent musicians and great singers in the Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland Area that I had the pleasure to play with because every musician has something and has been a an influence on me. You learn and constantly learn. It don't matter how good you are you can never stop learning otherwise it's not fun anymore. Hearing a solid bass player with a funk groove just inspires me. Hearing congas and a solid drummer, It's great!! And the icing on the cake and what completes the circle is the keyboards. I get inspired with really great keyboardist. I love R&B, Free-style, Rock &Roll, Classical, anything with Latin flavor. I guess I'm like the seasons and my preferences change. Most of all I like music that hits the heart.One day I'll post some of my own music, I just have a busy life. There's a time for everything.Love, Peace and Joy,- ALICIA -
