Alicia Barscevska

A native of Vilnius, Lithuania, the singer Alicija, has made her life in Dublin, Ireland for the past four years. Her current repertoire is mainly Jazz, but Alicia also has a strong background in other genres of music, among them Pop, as well as experience in the fields of Rock (Povilas Meskela ir Rojaus Tuzai), Disco (Diskomanija) and Electronic music (Electro-Jazz project). Her varied careers as a singer, songwriter and actress began in her native land, originating with teenage forays in singing poetry and music competitions, while she was always a regular on the festival circuit in both Lithuania and neighbouring Poland. Upon completion of studies at the School of music in 2005, Alicija undertook to train her voice under illustrious teachers such as A. Novikas (Jazz, improvisation), P.Meskela (Vocal technique in POP/Rock music) and K.Niemycko (singing technique in solo/band). At the age of 21, she took part in the well-known reality TV show 'Kelias I Zvaigzdes 3'. The profile gained here allowed her to release several songs ('Gaila', 'Jeigu tyli reiskia myli') and commence a successful career in Pop music. Collaboration with her country's foremost musical producers gave Alicia a much-needed boost. After having assumed the lead role in Disco band 'Diskomanija', Alicija released her first song 'Kai Pravisksta Angelai' (When Angels Cry). Her move to Dublin in 2009 heralded Alicija's studies in Jazz vocals and gave her the opportunity to join a jazz band. When not a gigging musician, she also finds time to be variously, actress, model and presenter. Currently Alicija is working on her solo album, co-writing with her writing partner Maurice Byrne.
