ABOUT ALEESIA
A refreshing combination of bountiful energy, apparent enthusiasm and true passion, Aleesia is a breath of fresh air.

With three hit singles and opening for artists such as Bruno Mars, Far East Movement, Adam Lambert, Kardinal Offishall, and Girlicious, Aleesia is on the path to pop star sensation.
