Her Warm and incomparable voice is accompanied by her own guitar. Her narrative lyrics, either in Spanish, English or French, can be as playful and unexpected as they are heart-felt and profound.

While living in New York City, she studied Jazz at The New School Jazz Conservatory and her voice founded a jazz-electronic band in 1998 named Etro Anime, who’s album See The Sound is released on V2 Records. Liset toured the world with French DJ AlexKid and opened for artists such as Laurent Garnier and Llorca. She worked closely together with hit producer Yoad Nevo (Sugababes, Bryan Adams, Jem), with whom she recorded her first Solo album (No Sleep, EMI 2005) at the prestigious Townhouse Studios in London, gaining her a top 20 single on the Holland charts. In France she had many hits on the radio and toured with Cuban troubadour Raul Paz. And all throughout Europe she has written platinum selling songs for other artists such as Belgian Pop Idols Winner Katerine who won “best pop song of the year” at the 2006 TMF Awards (the Belgian equivalent of the Grammy’s).

Ten years and many cold European winters later, Liset Alea returns to Miami in search of things unfound such as new influences, a broader audience and some home made black beans and rice. Block quote
