Alicija

Vocalist and songwriter Alicija- a native of Vilnius, Lithuania, has made her life in Dublin, Ireland for the past twelve years.

At the age of 21, she took part in the well-known musical TV show ‘Kelias I Zvaigzdes 3’.
The profile gained here allowed her to release several songs (‘Gaila’, ‘Jeigu tyli reiskia myli’,’Tik del Taves’) and commence a successful career in Pop music. Collaboration with her country’s foremost musical producers gave Alicija a much-needed boost.
After having assumed the lead role in Disco band ‘Diskomanija’ (‘Diskoteka’, ‘Aerobika’), Alicija released her first solo song ‘Kai Pravisksta Angelai’ (When Angels Cry).

Her move to Dublin in 2009 heralded Alicija’s studies in Jazz vocals, song writing and composition and allowed her to join a band and start gigging around.
In her free time, she also finds time to be variously, actress, model and presenter.

In 2015-2016 Alicija was also a host/presenter of Lithuanian online Television LT1 talk show ‘Naktinis Virejas’, which similarly focused on music, culture and success stories of Ireland based artists, musicians, models, business owners etc.
In 2018 Alicija had a featuring role in Lithuanian production by well-known director Lina Luzyte’. Her recent film ‘Castle’ was fully filmed in Dublin (Samson Films) and is being aired in cinemas in Lithuania and Ireland right this moment.

Now Alicija’s life in Dublin is consumed with song-writing and other creative studies.
In 2012 she released a song named 'Too much Woman' and 'She's the only one knows how this goes' (both written by M.Byrne). The latter was featured in US documentary 'Bloom on the sidewalk' (2013).
Together with Maurice, she co-wrote several songs, performed by herself and other artists. As project writers, Maurice and Alicija have written for films ( 'Bloom on the sidewalk' ), musicals ('In The Air'), children projects, and a lot of their songs will appear on Alicija's album.
Their release 'Washed Out By His Lies' and ‘Why are clouds so Blue’(2014/2015) performed and co-written by Alicija was an extraordinary success, well accepted not only in Europe but also in the US. Widely Broadcasted by Lithuanian National Television and Radio.

Recently Alicija recorded an acoustic song with Lithuanian artist Nojus (band Airija in eng. ‘Ireland’, which in 1992-1995 won several awards as a ‘Band of a year’ in Lithuania). Their most recent collaboration, recorded in Camden Recording Studios in Dublin, should be released next week.

Since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, she was working on her new material, participated and organised several online live stream concerts, was presenting numerous events, including the Culture Night 2020 concert ‘Finding Signs Of Lithuanian Voice Worldwide: An Evening of Performances’ hosted by the Embassy of Lithuania in Ireland, where she also performed.

Currently, Alicija is deepening her knowledge of Music Production and Composition in Point Blank Music School London and working on her new EP which will be released in 2021.
