All Genres > Country > Country Pop > ALANIZ: Forgiveness

Alaniz was born and raised in Southern California. She began dancing and singing the moment she learned to stand. At the age of 12 she became interested in guitar, and soon taught herself to play. She began vocal training and dance lessons in her early teenage years. She quickly became comfortable with performing live as a vocal soloist.

At age 19 she was approached by L.A. producer Sabby Reyes, of Desire Records, to release the Album Dance Craze. It became a successful dance album for the club dance scene with hits like "The Groove is on the Line", "Crazy" and "Experience". Ready to move on and experiment with her own sound she became the lead singer of a local band, playing cover tunes and a few originals. This went on for a few years when she decided to take a break from her music and focus on another career. She soon realized that music was her passion and recorded her first original CD, Forgiveness.

Since completing her debut CD, she has performed at LA clubs such as The Cat Club, The Knitting Factory and Karma. Alaniz was quickly noticed for her rich vocals and rhythmic melodies by the nationwide magazine Mac Addict. There she was featured as an up-and-coming artist in the September issue of Mac Addict CD, with the song "Forgiveness".

"My debut album reflects the past ten years of my loves, heartaches and speed bumps. The song "I used to Cry" was written at the age of 15 while going through typical teenage angst...remember the movie "13"?.. The track "Forgiveness" is my latest song written during a diffcult breakup. It deals with the loss not only of a partner, but a dear friend. Forgiveness is a powerful thing that lends grace to our human condition--imperfection."

Enjoy!
