Name: Alyssa Bernal
Age: 21
From: San Antonio, Texas [USA]
What she does: singer/songwriter/musician
I've been watching singer/songwriter Alyssa Bernal on YouTube for three or four years now and have seen her grow and mature as an artist, a lovely one at that. For the most part her videos consist of covers with a hint of originals, both of which are fantastic.
Alyssa's got a soft, kind of raspy-sweet voice that's perfect for summer soundtracks and winter love songs. Her technique is developed, definitely not artificial and you can tell by her infectious smile that she genuinely loves doing what she does. Her dimples are also adorable!
On camera she seems very easy-going, almost timid and very talented. She was recently [like, a year ago] discovered by Pharrell and has, since then, been developing fairly quickly as a professional artist.
Her debut EP 'Alyssa Bernal', recorded in London, England, launched last October and includes 'Cali, Cali, Cali', 'Hold Me Tight' and 'Easy'. Check out her very first music video for 'Cali, Cali, Cali' - it's my favourite of her original songs thus far and a wonderful throwback to the summer [especially in these arctic temperatures we've been getting]!
Enjoy!
