Looking

Alice Avery is a Belgian singer-songwriter based in New York. Her soulful yet eclectic sound and candid lyrics come together to create the organic pop sound that makes Avery’s debut EP “Kicking The Habit” unique.  

Alice started her musical journey in her home country Belgium, writing and releasing four songs and getting nominated by Radio 2 as “best new artist” for its SummerHit 2012 award show. 
In 2012 Alice decided to relocate to NYC to hone her craft and find her sound. During her first year in New York, Alice wrote a weekly column for popular Flemish teen magazine JOEPIE about her adventures in the city. Whilst in Belgium she discovered her love for acting when she played the part of Robin in Studio 100’s hit teen show “Galaxy Park” (Aired in Belgium, The Netherlands, Russia & Norway). It was a natural choice for her to study music and theater at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Now graduated from AMDA (other graduates include Jason DeRulo, Janelle Monae & Jesse Tyler Ferugson) she is living the New York City artist life. 

When she isn’t writing or performing her own songs (Avery has performed her music in various NY venues such as The Bitter End, Pianos, Leftfield, Rockwood Music Hall, Silvana…) you can find her on stage in musicals or plays. This past summer she played the lead in “Virtuous Mongrels”, a play selected and performed as part of the International New York Fringe Festival. She played Rapunzel in the New York Times celebrated Children’s musical “Rapunzarella White” (13th Street Repertory company) and just returned from performing in Las Vegas as part of the cast for “Twas a girlsnight before Christmas”. 

About a year ago Alice teamed up with Will Hensley to pour her new songs into an actual record. Hensley has worked with the likes of Regina Spektor, Colbie Caillat, Shakira, Natalie Imbruglia, Gavin DeGraw, John Mayer and many more. He understood her vision and together they were able to make the songs that Alice wrote on her rooftop in Harlem, sound like the edgy records they are today. Avery has poured her heart and soul into this record. Inspired by New York City, crazy life experiences and the whirlwind of becoming an adult, she hopes you will enjoy listening to her stories.
