About
Alicia began her musical journey as a classically trained violinist before discovering her true passion for the bass at age 12. By 14, she was performing live on stage, opening for acts such as The Doobie Brothers, The Nelsons, Debbie Gibson, The Backstreet Boys, and Jars of Clay.
In 2002, Alicia joined Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys as his touring bassist. The international tour brought her to stages across the U.S., England, Germany, The Netherlands, and Japan, with performances on major television shows including Top of the Pops, The Tonight Show, The View, MTV’s Total Request Live, The Wayne Brady Show, and Live with Regis & Kelly. She also appeared in the MTV music video for Carter’s single “Help Me” and the Making the Video special.
In 2008, Alicia was invited to record bass for the internationally acclaimed group Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Her performance is featured on the track “Tracers” from their 2009 double album, Night Castle.
Alicia began a new chapter in her career in 2023, working on her debut album of original music at Hideaway Recording. Collaborating with artists such as John Kelly, Joey Interrante, Jeremy Douglass, Gale Trippsmith, Rob Pastore, and Nalisio Taveras, she crafted a sound rooted in folk lyricism, with elements of Americana, blues, and pop. Her debut single, “Door to June,” released in the summer of 2023, received immediate airplay and support from Sunshine 96.7. The full album, Beautiful Unfolding, released in October 2024, explores themes of fleeting romance, heartbreak, renewal, and self-discovery.
Today, Alicia continues to be a vibrant part of the Tampa music scene, performing regularly on bass with local bands and showcasing her original music as a guitarist and solo vocalist.
