ALZZY
Based in Melbourne Australia, singer-songwriter Alzzy is an artist with an outlook beyond her years. Uniquely combining her love of acoustic pop with aspects of RnB and Folk influence, Alzzy creates a complete sound of her own.
From being Battle of the Sounds Southern Metro winner, to securing a monthly residency at the Yarraville Club, to guest appearances at Ronald McDonald House events, Toyota Open Days and Conferences, and on local radio stations, Alzzy is a well rounded, accomplished performer with a wealth of experience on Melbourne’s busy performance scene.
She has also completed a round of festival gigs at festivals such as St Kilda, Frankston, Mornington Busking, and Forest Edge Music Festival, that she has thoroughly enjoyed being a part of. Alzzy’s debut EP, ‘Find My Way’ was released in 2017, and is centred around the thoughts, ideas and life experiences of her 16-year-old-self. The laid-back, acoustic-driven nature of this EP takes listeners on a journey, conveying a real honesty and authenticity.
With a dedication like no other to her artistic endeavours, Alzzy strives to continually grow and develop her craft and musical influence, as both a performer/recording artist, and a songwriter. Alzzy hopes that through the music she creates, people may be inspired, encouraged, and even challenged to realise their own potential.
