#37: Alysha Brilla

Alysha Brilla is a 3X Juno Award nominated artist & music producer who’s been singing since she was 3 years old. She describes how music has been therapy & comfort for her throughout her life, her experience as a young teen with the sometimes predatory & exploitative nature of the music business, and how she cares less whether people “get her” as she gets older. She also shares her profound conviction that music does have the capacity to change the world and explains how she encourages students at her workshops to notice the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate things in our world.

“Even though we give courses certain titles and we segment fields of study … everything truly is connected. If they’re studying audio engineering, it’s gonna relate back to childhood. Things DO connect. You can find highways between them. The way my brain works and when I was a kid and when I’m learning something … let’s say I’m learning something about audio engineering, I’ll think, ‘Oh, that’s just like an ocean wave.’ And as a kid, y’know, kids always say that all the time: ‘Is that like this?’ I love when people acknowledge and affirm the connections that their brains are making between things. So it’s not just me teaching the software or the techniques that I am able to share information on, it’s [that] I want to encourage them to just keep learning, be curious, and enjoy the process of learning.”
