East & West Coast Indie Artist, Song Writer, Actress, Comedian Alyssa Anjelica James

East & West Coast Indie Artist, Song Writer, Actress, Comedian Alyssa Anjelica James versatility is amazing and styling and voice is beautiful. Alyssa is clearly globally and environmentally conscious and passionate. Alyssa Anjelica James, a self-proclaimed tree hugger, was born in Harlem NYC and conceived in The Wasatch Mountains of Washington State-this prompted her father to give her the name Wasatchi. Both the mountains and the city pulse though her artists veins as evident in her eclectic sound. On her song "Getcha Groove On" she is a rapper who spits with passion, urgency and ease, and yet on "Laughter In The Distance" a folk, R&B inflected ballad she sings with a sincere intimacy about brighter days to come. Then she takes another turn and writes

"Warm Day" a modern day jazz standard that has an old timey sound both earthy and moody. Alyssa began performing in musical theater in Manhattan at the age of thirteen playing a runaway teen in Elizabeth Swados' big hit “Runaways”.

She began doing stand-up in New York City in 1995, and joined two improv groups which led her to spots on TV shows for TV Guide Network, Discovery Channel and most recently landing the role of news anchor Kimberly Porter in the new Independent film called 'The Instant Messenger'.

So, sit back relax have a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of wine, and enjoy some good conversation and music...
