Bio
In just 4 years, Australian R&B artist and songwriter Felicia Alima has made quite a name for herself.
The half Indonesian, half Czech beauty grew up in a family accustomed to art and music, (her father being a great influence as an avid guitarist and musician).
Growing-up in Perth, Australia, she immersed herself in the Hip-Hop scene, where there was no doubt where her aspirations would take her.
Moving to the USA in 2002, she became a mixtape DJ, which ultimately fostered her ambition to pursue her own projects seriously.
In 2006, she took the bold first step in a solo career of absolute guarantee. She released an EP “The Way We Do” which featured a song called “Leavin’ Here Tonight”. That song was picked-up by Perth radio station Nova 93.7, and she became the first unsigned artist with a song on regular commercial rotation.
From there, she made two more releases; her debut album, “Know Me” in 2007, and a maxi-single called “Trade” in 2009, which was on the human-trafficking epidemic and features Universal recording artist Chino XL.
As a result, she has created a buzz on an international level, winning the Madison Area Music Association (MAMA) titles of “Urban/R&B Performer of The Year 2009”, “Urban/R&B Album of the Year 2009”, “Urban Artist of The Year 2008”, “Youth Vocalist of the Year 2008”, “Urban Artist of the Year 2007”, “Urban Album of the Year 2007”, and “Compilation of the Year 2009" for a collaborative effort, amongst other multiple nominations throughout the years.
She has opened for international R&B and Hip Hop artists such as J. Holiday, Keyshia Cole, Ray Lavender, Rhymefest & P. Diddy's Making The Band "Day26".
Moving back to Perth, Australia in 2010, Felicia has settled back into her hometown with her family, and is concentrating on song-writing and producing, while working on a new release for her fans "Know Me - The Remixes", due later in 2011.
Felicia Alima is promoted and distributed by her own entertainment company, Chantik Soul Entertainment, and is undoubtedly the next big thing to represent international R&B.
