“To thine own self be true…” William Shakespeare 

Niagara Ontario musician | singer | songwriter Dean Young put these famous words to work in his life the day he left his 23 year factory job at Rich Products of Canada to fully pursue his true passion – music.
Shortly after making this decision, Dean’s young family dealt with the hard news that his wife and children battle a chronic illness with Lyme disease. Having lost his Mom to cancer when he was just 17 and then his older brother Marty a couple of years later, Dean is no stranger to difficult times. He pushed on and played full time in a tribute band to support his family while continuing to write his original music.

Drawing from his own family and the musical upbringing with his Dad and the bond of music they shared while dealing with the loss of his Mom and brother, the release of his self-funded debut album Makin' A Life is a culmination of Dean’s life, values, morals, and struggles. Encouraging people to stick with it, not give up and to work things out; whether in love, work or life in general. To embrace and be thankful for all the good things in life.  

Dean Young’s original country music work is described as a twist of modern with classic country sounds that carries meaningful messages to listeners about the important things in life.
A down to earth guy who loves family and friends, Dean is an avid outdoorsman and a Taxidermist! He loves to cook and share his wild game harvests with friends and family, while sharing relatable music about life and making the best out of it. If you have fallen in love, worked hard, had some hard times, had your heart broken, enjoyed the privilege of raising children, or just shared some great times with good friends and family - then you will understand why people are loving this new artist!

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Singer-Songwriter-Composer - Ä-nē-cha (Anecha De)

Ä-nē-cha was first introduced to music by her musician father who was deep in to electronic music such as Tangerine Dream and Mike Oldfield. He departed at age three and her memory of this time is juxtaposed to the sound of Gershon Kingsley's Popcorn. 

Ä-nē-cha continued to grow up in a religion which forbid listening to music (other than hymns) with no music player. Inspired by a family member who's sole harmonies sung loud and live over 500 church singers and then introduced to Fleetwood Mac in the late 70's via a family member she began a lifelong love of singing. Then thanks to the help of a neighbour in the 80's who snuck a record player in to her room, started listening to stacks of EP's from the neighbours dukebox machine business when they were considered expired and discarded. 

"My best memories of my dad were of him singing Johny Cash on stage. I recall watching band practice just before he left home and lived with that deep longing to touch the equipment for all of my life. Yet I lived in a silent music-less home and we had no money for piano lessons to even play hymns. So it felt like music was always, just out of my reach. As a teen I was asked to enter the country music scene but was just too shy and inhibited back then. I wanted to but couldn't play guitar and just couldn't make the leap in my mind."

Ä-nē-cha first studied classical music for 5 years during secondary school but found it entirely dissatisfying playing a clarinet when all she wanted to do was sing, "and it felt like too much focus on the theory and not enough on the heart and modern expression which I longed".  

"I moved to Melbourne in 2003 with the intention of studying acting further and won best female actress awards in 2 eisteddfods, but I ended up studying millinery and meeting many musicians who urged me to sing and write music, resulting in me commencing my formal songwriting journey instead(although I had written for all of the years prior, even in the silence, but never shared my work). 

It's really hard to say who my influences are because there are so many. When I left home I followed an insatiable urge to devour as much music and genres as I could to make up for the lack of music in my childhood. It became like a competition with myself to see how wide my appreciation could span. Probably Fleetwood Mac has had the greatest influence and then Jewel and other like singer-songwriters. I grew up singing hymns but I'm now influenced a lot by jazz and jazz-blues and I'm currently writing music for a neo-cabaret swing set. Then electronic music is still deep in my psyche so I guess my music naturally reflects all those electronic bands I love too, like Enigma, Delirium, Mike Oldfield, Dead Can Dance, Deep Forest etc plus dance music (Skitz, Tiesto & Avicii), world music etc."

Ä-nē-cha has completed a Diploma of Music (Voice) and is currently studying a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Music) online so she can remain in Cairns where she currently resides. 

"Because my composing crosses multiple genres I'm currently developing my music electronically and will find people to play with me along the way. 

I arrived on the band/brand name "Feels Like Alice" because I feel like Alice lost in musical wonderland. Feels Like Alice is an online and real life project like a virtual and real space I invite other musicians in to, to collaborate, co-write and perform live with in different "Chapters" of the Feels Like Alice story. 

I'm resisting committing to any one genre yet because when you've had them taken away you appreciate them all so much.  I hope you come and enjoy the journey with me."
