"Ever since I was little, I have loved music with a passion," Alyssa tells PTBOCanada. "It's fun to see people enjoying my music; it has inspired me to keep writing and to keep spreading the smiles:)"
Her cover songs are also fantastic. Like this one of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" from last month...
And this cover of Serena Ryder's "What I Wouldn't Do" from last year...
Her proud Dad Chris tells PTBOCanada: "Our house is filled with music every day—whether it's her voice, guitar, ukulele, or some combination of those. It's fun to now see her creative side coming out in song writing. We are just so happy that she gets true enjoyment from this passion of hers."
Alyssa's Dad adds she couldn't have done this without the help of the community: "Kate Suhr has been a significant influence on her and we couldn't be more thankful for all that she has done with Alyssa. She also worked with Beau Dixon for a number of years when she was young and really helped her get started in music. The guys at the guitar boutique in Peterborough have been great with her. Her instructor Doug Johnson has really helped her with guitar. This small community and musical talent mentors have really been instrumental in her development."
