Alyssa Jacey

Alyssa Jacey's career started by complete accident after she moved to LA in 2004 to pursue her life long passion as a hip-hop dancer/choreographer. Friends heard her singing to herself, forced her to try karaoke one night, and the rest is history. One year later, having never professionally sang or recorded, she released her first two albums, "The Alyssa Jacey" EP and "Closed eyes... ...open Heart" LP. After submitting to the San Diego County Fair in 2005, she was hired to perform multiple shows there that summer and all around town. Later that year she picked up a guitar and spent hours a day teaching herself so that by only after three short weeks was able to perform 30-minute sets, accompanying herself. The following year, "The Soul" EP was released after being flown to Miami to record it. This was the first album Alyssa played acoustic guitar on, as well as debuting her percussion, egg shaking skills, which would later turn in to an unexpected path as a drummer. Alyssa's "Turning Points" EP was released in 2009 (basically taking songs from "The Soul," re-recording them and added a couple new tracks). By this time Alyssa had already performed over 200 shows both acoustically and with a full band, toured, had multiple TV and Radio interviews and performances, tons of press and she began playing drums at live shows. Jacey released what she calls her "first real CD," titled, "Here's To Change," in January of 2010. "It's the first time I had sent it off for duplication, had it properly designed, packaged, got the bar code, the whole 9." This was also the first time she had released a 10-song, full length album, which you can hear on Alyssa Jacey Radio (Pandora.com) where she played acoustic guitar on almost every song. This one features her hit single, "Fall Out of Love," which has continued to get radio airplay since it's release. Watch her professional music video on her YouTube channel. Now nine years later, having performed over 1,100 live shows Internationally, 4 nationwide tours, National Anthem performances for the Padres (and others), self-taught on guitar, drums and piano, playing shows with Paula Cole, Shawn Colvin, Bruno Mars, Meiko, Serena Ryder, Angel Taylor, Ryan Star, Joan Osborne, Sophie B. Hawkins, PEPPER, Bob Marley's The Wailers, Keith Anderson, Andy Grammer and more, Alyssa took a major step and moved from everything she knew from being born and raised in San Diego (Family, friends, where she billy block show graduated college, favorite venues) to Nashville, TN. Living there since January of 2012, Alyssa has accomplished the following: Released an album ("On the Spot") and three new singles, written roughly 60 new songs, played over 350 live shows, performed/interviewed live on both tv and radio, nominated as "Best Live Country Performer" for the 2013 Nashville Independent Music Awards, meetings with record labels, publishing and licensing companies, management interest, the list keeps growing.
