Alyssa was born in Napa, California and raised in Sacramento by a loving, and supportive family. She grew up singing in choir as well as  performing in dance troupes throughout high school. At age 18, Alyssa set out for the bright lights of Los Angeles where she completed her undergrad and cultivated her passions for singing, songwriting and performing. While in LA, she wrote, recorded and performed her own original music on the local artist scene in such iconic venues as the Pasadena Playhouse, The Key Club on Sunset, and House of Blues Hollywood, and several regional events, fairs, and festivals. She also held lead roles in regional theatre productions such as Hair, Evita, and many more while in Los Angeles, and performed as Princess Tiana in the production Mickey and the Magical Map at Disneyland.  

Alyssa embarked on her traveling adventures in 2015 when she began singing on various cruise ships around the world: first with a 10-piece band at Carnival Cruise Lines, and then as a production singer for both Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Lines. In 2016, Alyssa was the magnetizing frontwoman for the iconic B.B King's Blues Club at Sea on Holland America Line. 

Shortly after she set out for the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip in 2018, she was cast as a lead vocalist in one of The Strip's most popular productions: "Vegas! The Show" at Planet Hollywood, paying tribute to the history of Las Vegas performers such as Tina Turner, Gladys Knight and more through dazzling performances yielding standing ovations nightly. She was also seen headlining in many Las Vegas venues such as The Tuscany, The Tropicana, The Rio,  The Space LV, and Mandalay Bay and more. 

Alyssa Harris currently performs her own headline shows aboard various cruise lines, at corporate shows and private events all over the world. She moves audiences with her tribute shows: "Rockin Your Soul",  "Motor City to Memphis",  and "Supreme Diva: The Diana Ross Tribute Show". As she settles into the Austin live music scene, she'll continue to rock audiences with electrifying performances of both original music and cover favorites. Her most recent project, "Wild Dreamer" is an EP of original music and features a blend of indie-rock/alt-pop tunes that are creating a buzz on the new artist scene. 

Alyssa is passionate about both performing and teaching. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Performance Studies, a Master of Arts in Musicology and is currently pursuing a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies with Music History at the center of her research focus, and hopes to teach at a collegiate level someday in the future. She also runs a vocal coaching business called Dynamic Voices Singing Studio, where she's able to share her passion for music and performing with other aspiring singers and help them on their journey of success in singing.
