"Alissa is a rare talent. Her stunning vocal ability is far beyond her years and, even more so, her songwriting displays a depth few up-and-coming singers have."
Scott Faris - Faris Wheel Productions and The Amusement Park Recording Studio - Direct Quote
"Talent and commitment are the two key elements in the business of entertainment and music that combine to make an artist a success. Alissa Beyer has both of these qualities.
Talent is an inate, born quaity, but that’s not enough. The artist has to have the commitment to suffer through the rejections, think on their feet, and be creative and articulate, even after they’ve had a bad day or a good one. It is their focus to foster and nuture the talent through thick and thin.
I love writing and producing great music, and Alissa Beyer helps me to remember and realize my purpose in this life. She radiates the very essence of freshness and vulnerabliltiy in her music and her writing, while exacting a subtle and forceful undercurrent of maturitiy.
It is my pleasure to work with Alissa." - Direct Quote
