A songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Alyssa Bonagura has spent the past decade fine-tuning a sound that reaches far beyond her Nashville roots. It blurs the boundaries between genres, mixing the southern storytelling of country music, the free-thinking spirit of rock 'n' roll, and the cinematic sweep of Brit-pop into its own hybrid.

For Alyssa – a lifelong road warrior who spent her infancy aboard a tour bus, recorded a duet with Kenny Rogers at 10 years old, received her college diploma from Sir Paul McCartney, and currently balances her solo career with an ongoing gig writing songs for Jessie James Decker, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, and others – it's also a style that's every bit as diverse as her own story.
