Aliya Marie Is A Indie Pop Rock Singer/songwriter Presently Located In Los Angelas CA United States. In Recalling Her Early Introduction To Music Aliya Says "One Of My First Memories Is Of A Little Red Toy Piano That I Loved When I Was 2 Or 3 Years Old. I Used To Have Singing Contests At My Slumber Parties On Weekends. I Played The Flute In The Marching Band Embarrassing Picture To Come To The Gallery Soon And I Wrote My First Song When I Was 12 On The Flute Which Became My Family's Answering Machine Recording. I Fell In Love With The Electric Guitar When I Was 16 And Got A Job A Sears Just So I Could Raise Money And Buy One." "Later I Moved With My Electric Guitar To Seattle And Went To College And Kept Writing Songs And Playing Music. I Was Working As A Scientist And Not Very Happy Because I Knew I Needed To Live My Life Doing Music And Not Looking Through Microscopes. Sooo...I Packed My Electric Guitar Into My Car With As Much Of My Things As I Could And Gave Away Everything That Didn't Fit To The Goodwill And Journeyed Alone To Los Angeles." "Some Neat Things Have Happened In LA In The Short Time I've Been Here I Won A Southwest Airlines Birthday Jingle Competition With My Band And Got To Play On An Airplane During A Flight At 35 000 Feet Somewhere Over California And Oregon. Kinda Like Billy Idol In The Wedding Singer. You Can See The Link Of The In-Flight Concert On My Gallery Page.
