About Alison:

“I consider myself a musician who comes out of the jazz tradition, the black music tradition where jazz people take established forms and reimagine them in new and different ways,”
she says, eschewing strict genre categorizations for herself and her responsive, ever-evolving artistry.
Alison released a string of powerful and influential soul and jazz driven solo recordings starting in 2004 with On Becoming A Woman. Buoyed by the success of the single “Like Rain” – which reached #3 on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Winner’s 2003 chart on his legendary BBC Radio 1 program – Alison went on a unique, multi-faceted tear, expanding her fan base into the dance world by making the unusual choice to follow up with The Return of Diva Blue: On Becoming a Woman Redux, a set of deep house remixes from her debut album by top flight DJ/remixers like DJ Spinna, Yam Who?, Phil Asher, Mark De Clive-Lowe. “Diva Blue” is a nickname given to her by Britt.
