Alysha Brillinger is the WINNER OF the 2008 BLUES YOUTH LEGACY CONTEST! With a voice posessing both power and versatility, Alysha Brillinger is a singer and a songwriter. Writing with a maturity beyond her 19 years, her pop/soul tunes are touched by her influences of blues and folk. She is driven and expressive, lively and versatile and a powerhouse singer. Alysha recently completed recording a few singles with producer Joao Carvalho in Toronto, with the help of Factor.
Alysha Brillinger has always been a go-getter, an independent female since she was very young. In a household full of multi-cultural role models, Alysha would lock herself in her room, blast records, sing along, and play the keyboard. Always an energetic child, she would organize shows and perform for family get-to-gethers. This powerhouse knew how to excite people by just singing into a hairbrush. In the summer of 2005, Alysha recieved a $20,000 grant from CANWEST for winning 91.5 The beat's "Rhythm Of The Future" contest and began to record a demo in Toronto with producer Marcus Kane, who has sold over three million units worldwide. This experience offered great opportunities, such as opening for Juno Award winner "K-OS" at Hip-Hop-Toberfest 2006 and singing in CMW's "Urban Showcase" in 2006.
Then, in 2007, she received a grant from Factor to record with Joao Carvalho. In addition to that, Alysha has performed with The Detroit Women, Douglas Watson and currently sings/plays bass with reggae-pop duo AnR. Major next steps include producing a video with TWOTHREEIVE films and headlining at the Kitchener Blues Festival.
Alysha Brillinger is a singer/songwriter/producer who performs actively with her band and acoustically in and around the GTA.
