– Jimi Hendricks –

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."

Who is Alyse Black?

“There are some voices that stop you in your tracks and make you listen, and Alyse Black is a great example.”
- Eclectic Mix Podcast -

With a crimson silk voice set to deceptively lovely pop tunes, Alyse Black embodies the red-headed siren singer-songwriter. Drawing on a wide variety of influences, from Bjork to Billie Holiday, from Tom Waits to Tori Amos, from Piaf to Portishead, Alyse creates a delicate world of bright colors and lilting pleasure ' creating a 'hazy rose-hued state of mind where sensuality is key and reality is just a dirty word.'
- Brittany Brown Reviews -

Alyse’ alternative-pop sophomore album, “For You,” was recorded and produced by Ryan Peacock (Foo Fighters, Ra Ra Riot, Blonde Redhead, The Gossip) and is due out October 1st, 2009. Her first album, “Too Much & Too Lovely” won 1st place in Billboard’s Annual World Song Contest in Jazz among many other awards. In addition her US tour in 2008, Alyse performed numerous major music festivals around the States. This year, Alyse will tour the US from August through October and Europe later in the year to celebrate the release of “For You.”

Alyse left a short corporate career to sing on the streets of Pike Place Market in Seattle. One day, the pianist for a local group wandered by, listened for a moment, and then explained that he liked her style. He needed another singer for a show that night at a local club. There was no looking back. From trekking in Nepal to roadtripping the USA. From working for the US House of Representatives in high school to starring in musicals. Completing three degrees at the University of Washington, running a marathon, building an elementary school in Costa Rica, attending Barbazon modeling school, and living in France, Germany, Peru, Czech Republic, and more. Alyse’ eclectic life is all fodder for her award-winning songs.

"Black boldly channels Bjork, Billie, and Bush (Kate, not GW). Best yet, this jazzy, arty, oddball epic also sounds like Alyse Black more than any of her influences."
- Roctober Magazine -

While Alyse's songwriting could be likened to the playful jazziness of Regina Spektor, Alyse's voice has been described as a cross between the voices of Tori Amos and Norah Jones. Because Alyse's major influences run the gamut from Billie Holiday to Tom Waits, her writing is at once quirky and sultry.

Alyse was born into a house of Ragtime piano and musical theater. She learned her first notes on the piano from her father before she can remember. She first ventured onto a stage alone to sing at age six. She began violin at 10 and quit violin at 11 in favor of voice. She began to toy with a guitar around 15. She first recorded in a studio at 17. At 18, Alyse felt the call of the singer-songwriter but couldn't follow. She then freaked out and didn't turn in a completed application to Juilliard at 19. Oddly enough, she went to business school and entered the corporate world. It didn't take long to realize that was a mistake. So she left to follow her passion on the streets of Pike Place Market in Seattle.



Discography

"For You," Alyse's sophomore solo album, is planned for release on October 1st!

"Too Much & Too Lovely" released in 2007. The album is available for purchase at most major online retailers.
