At the age of 15, Alysha started to realize that she wanted to do more with her vocal talents, and set about to record the first of her CDs, self financed and produced..Nuthin But A Chevy. Finally released in 2005 , it became a CD that gained her recognition in Europe, USA, and Canada. The final single released from that CD -"This Time" - reached the top chart spot at The Country Edge, a Toronto based monitored radio station. This CD sold out in 2006.
