Artist Bio
Alyssa's creative resolve, passion for storytelling and vocal eloquence are the products of her enduring artistic exposure. Growing-up just outside of New York City, Alyssa's father took his daughter to see many of the musical greats as a child - Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Nancy Wilson, The Temptations, Neil Young, Bob Dylan - and after studying piano, saxophone and guitar, Alyssa attended both Ithaca College and The New England Conservatory of Music where she studied Jazz Voice and Contemporary Improvisation. After music school Alyssa went on to develop her unique artistic style, playing on her fresh, breezy phrases and lilting Brazilian rhythms that hypnotize the senses.
In 2005, Alyssa launched her solo career with her critically-lauded debut CD, What Love Is, chosen by All About Jazz as one of the "Best New Recordings of 2005" and Jazziz's Annual "Women In Jazz" issue. The All Music Guide recently bestowed 3.5 stars on Echo saying, "Graham conveys powerful emotions and silky charm. and makes us all realize, thankfully, that the spirit of innovative legendary vocalists like Lady Day is a alive and well in new artists like Alyssa Graham."
