Alysha Brilla is a Canadian singer, songwriter and producer. Brilla is a multi-instrumentalist whose self-written and produced 2013 album, In My Head, was nominated for Adult Contemporary Album of the year. Her music is raw and upbeat with messages of love, diversity and equality; sentiments which positively represent Canada’s progressive social landscape. Her newest album’s title track, “Womyn”, was song of the week on CBC Sept. 2014. Born in Mississauga, Ontario to a Tanzanian father and Euro-Canadian mother, Brilla grew up listening to her father play guitar and her mom sing folk songs. Her newest 13 song release, Womyn demonstrates her growth as a songwriter and producer – featuring afro-inspired horn lines and quirky lyrics over soulful instrumentation. A 2014 cross-Canada tour inspired the title track “Womyn”; a lyrical stanza demonstrating the strength and diversity of Canada’s women, inspired by the rhetoric of Buffy Sainte-Marie’s “Universal Soldier”. Alysha involves herself with community outreach and various charities supporting underprivileged youth both in Canada and abroad. 2015 sees another cross-Canada tour, a showcase in England, visiting and performing at CWEF’s charity headquarters in Tanzania and the continual development of herself as a songwriter and producer.
