About Me




~ Bio ~

Alisi’s musical journey began with a scholarship majoring in vocal, to the former Australian College of Entertainment (Sydney). Upon returning to Melbourne at 19, she joined stunning R&B vocal girl group - BELLA, with Wendy Jay, Kulaia and producer James W Essex, otherwise known as hip hop outfit JWESS. As part of BELLA's original, live and dynamic format, Alisi performed at Australia's premier sporting events (NRL, NBL, Goodwill Games) and entertainment venues (Grand Hyatt Melbourne, MCG, Olympic Park, Festival Hall Melbourne, Carousel, Odeon - Crown Casino, Heat - Crown Casino, Mercury Lounge - Crown Casino, ) in combination with TV appearances including Good Morning Australia, Ground Zero, VH1 and The Denise Morning Show. As a seasoned professional Alisi has played to intimate groups and crowds of up to 50, 000 from Rod Laver Arena to the Sydney Entertainment Centre. With BELLA, she also gathered musical acclaim by being invited to write and record with the legendary Kool & the Gang and to support international artists such as Usher, Chaka Khan, Brian McKnight, Nivea and Next. Since stepping out solo, Alisi has had no lack of interest in her power packed vocals as she found herself performing alongside the likes of Australia's own Vanessa Amarosi and Marcia Hines. Alisi's soulful vocals can be sampled on "Boomin", Selwyn's first single off his sophomore album and she recently contributed her soul tinged vocals to "Home Chicago" of Warner Music act - Whiskey Gogos' 2007 debut album "Proud Tales to Them of Us". Proving the versatile performer that she is, from soul diva to glitzy showgirl, Alisi has just completed her 13 month stint at Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast, Australia, in her stage debut as the lead of Dion & Randall spectacular Zingara and is currently undertaking Acting & Presenting courses at The National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Sydney.

"Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure.
It Is Our Light, Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.
We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented And Fabulous?
Actually, Who Are You Not To Be?
You Are A Child Of God, Your Playing Small Doesn't Help The World.
There's Nothing Enlightening About Shrinking Down So Someone Won't Feel Insecure Around You.
We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.
It Is Not Just In Some Of Us, It Is In Everyone And As We Let Our Own Light Shine, We Unconsciously Give Others The Permission To Do The Same.
As We Are Liberated, From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others." ~MARIANNE WILLIAMSON~

"Take the first step in Faith, You don't have to see the whole staircase, Just take the first step "~MARTIN LUTHER KING~
