notes
Anne-Lise earned her serious musician stripes as a cellist from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. The natural progression was to enter the revered world of classical music, which she did for a while. However, with an ever restless creative soul burgeoning underneath, the rigidness of being a professional cellist soon felt stifling for Anne-Lise. "I had a voice and I needed to sing" she reflects.
The musical evolution had begun. Anne-Lise took the leap, moved to Sydney and began her musical life afresh.
Sydney projects have included the A-L Larsen Duo (featuring Andy Manessis) - featured Club Acoustica artist; and her band, Ayelle, with Paul Wheeler (ex-Sunbury Aztecs) on bass.
A solo career is the latest phase of Anne-Lise's musical journey. It marks a new level of dedication to - and confidence in - her art, and a realisation that she is capable of success in her own right.
Her debut release, I'm Alive [2006 EP], was an affirmation of arrival and survival in the music world. The EP was entirely written, composed, arranged and performed by Anne-Lise, and recorded and produced in her studio. Belying its one-woman origins, I'm Alive appeals to a wider, shared experience, exploring tales of love, loneliness, the pursuit of dreams and the seduction of envy.

A funky glamour filled EP. A treat for your ears.
