Aliza is a singer, songwriter, and producer based out of Edmonton, Canada. Known for her candidness, Aliza mixes songwriting reminiscent of Alicia Keys, with the intuitive and improvisational style of Thelonious Monk, iconic harmonies of '90s R&B, and East Indian rhythms. 

 

While Aliza is also a social worker, her music is strongly rooted in telling stories of adversity and perseverance faced by herself and others. With a firm belief in equality and social justice, she facilitates songwriting sessions for her patients to help them articulate their own experience in an effort to bring them emotional release. “I believe in the transformative power of expression, especially for those on the margins of society.” says Aliza. “I have witnessed the profound impact of music and art on individuals who are often overlooked. The story they tell through their own music has an immeasurable impact on their own healing, and on our society as a whole.”

 

Aliza's debut LP Eyes Wide Shut (2022), takes listeners on an eight-track journey, as she experiments with diverse sounds and styles. The album is a dynamic exploration of her artistry, from the theatrical rock of “Exhale”, produced by JUNO-nominated producer, Enoch Attey (Cikwes), which delves into themes of anxiety; to the vivid storytelling of “John 4” and the peaceful harmonies and baseline by Bubby Lewis (Jhene Aiko) in her most popular track, “Escape”. “Eyes Wide Shut is a collection of moments in my life when I disconnected in an effort to ignore the reality I couldn’t handle at the time.” Aliza reflects. “My follow-up project will represent the creation of the reality I want to live in.”

 

Dedicated to uplifting marginalized voices, Aliza also runs Secret Garden Studio in Edmonton — a sanctuary where creatives can find safety and confidence that then brings their music to life. Performing alongside artists like Tea Fannie, Aurah Ariko, Ezeada, K-Riz, Oozeela, and Jananie, Aliza has had the opportunity to experience performing from a myriad of perspectives. This has inspired her to begin producing live shows for herself and other local artists.
