Alysha Brilla is a 2025 Women in Music International Leadership Honouree, a 2024 Canadian Screen Award nominee, and a three-time JUNO Award-nominated songwriter, composer, producer, Berklee Professor, and artist.
Guided by her Indo-Tanzanian roots and Great Lakes spirit, Brilla creates music that bridges cultures through rhythm, storytelling, and joy. Her artistry thrives on stage, an electrifying space where voice, guitar, and heartbeat percussion come together to invite audiences into a collective experience of movement and healing.
Performing with her powerhouse ensemble, one-man band Sammy Duke and Jamaican reggae percussion royalty Gerima Harvey, Brilla’s concerts are vibrant celebrations of sound and soul. The group’s chemistry transforms each show into an immersive journey that blends folk, world, soul, and pop, weaving global percussion, percussive finger picking, and soaring harmonies into a tapestry that uplifts and connects. Whether commanding large outdoor festival stages or intimate theatres, Brilla’s performances radiate warmth, technical brilliance, and the magnetic charisma of an artist fully at home in her craft.
