About Me

Aliza Pearl grew up between the many cultures and communities of the finest state there is, New Jersey. Her youngest and most influential years were spent in the state’s largest city, Newark, a place that is rich in the arts and holds an untamable spirit, though more well-known for its stolen cars, projects, and less than perfect public school system. * * * * * * * Aliza decided early on that music was her passion and began writing songs and forming singing groups as early as age 6. In high school, after eleven years of studying ballet and tap dance, Aliza Pearl also began acting for the stage. Drama offered an even more live and direct emotional release than dance and music, and she was quickly drawn into the acting world. Aliza continued to perform on stage and in films during her undergraduate years at Princeton. At Princeton, she earned a degree in Comparative Literature and a minor in Drama, as well as East Asian Studies. * * * * * * * Aliza then set her sights on New York City. Her favorite theater roles have always been the classics: Andromache in "Trojan Women" has been one of the most challenging and rewarding. She played a pivotal role in the independent film "The Child Within," portraying a young woman who has decided to sell her unborn child. * * * * * * Aliza now resides in Los Angeles, and actively pursues both acting and music. Aliza continues to write her original “neo-blues” music and plays guitar.
