Alana Raye, a multi-talented 15 year old singer/songwriter, who gives a fresh new voice to today's youth. An acrobatic cheerleader

is the last person you would expect to find penning lyrics for heartfelt numbers delivered via acoustical guitar, but as you listen, the goose bumps on your arms will testify that this young marvel is as real as they come. Alana receives inspiration from the multitude of roles and realities that define a modern young woman and talented artist. She is often seen, notebook in hand, ready to capture new lyrics. Her songs are acoustic/indie/pop inspired and relate to all ages and groups.
