Alicia Blue - Bravebird (2020)

Alicia Blue was born in Pomona, CA to working-class parents. The daughter of a bank teller and truck driver, she was far removed from the artistic community she now lives in. Learning she had a talent for words at 17, through the mentorship of her high-school English teacher, she decided to focus on poetry while doing odd jobs and side gigs. At 24, in her last year of college, she met an aging soul singer that would inspire her to pursue music. The song felt like a better vehicle to put her poetry to, verses the simplicity of words on a page. Without any training, she bought her first instrument, the acoustic guitar, and tried singing for the first time. Ten years later in 2019, she released her first EP, featuring the single “Magma”, garnering attention from Billboard, Starbucks and KCRW.

Alicia’s next full length album, Bravebird, will be released April 29th, 2020. The first single, Queen Of Echo Park, was released Jan. 31st and joyfully received by the local community due to it’s cultural relevance, seaming together a three minute time capsule of the eastside music scene experience. The second single, Blind Spot, debuted Feb. 27 and was chosen by Spotify as a feature on their Fresh Finds Pop Playlist. The last single off Bravebird, Star Maps, will be released March 27th 2020.
