When asked if she had a favorite quote, she replied, "start where you are, use what you have, do what you can", which is exactly what Canadian-Italian singer Alessia did the first time she picked up her guitar and began recording herself in her bedroom closet. As her confidence grew, and she started sharing her videos, she had no idea that these humble beginnings would start her on the path to a career in music.

As the daughter of a young and loving Italian couple, her parents encouraged her pursuit of music, it was clear to them that her passion was growing, along with her fan-base. Alessia’s smooth and sultry tone was capturing the attention of the world via YouTube. Fans from everywhere were reaching out and offering words of encouragement.
